Red chili chicken is a flavorful dish that's typically made with chicken marinated in a blend of spices and chili peppers. The chicken is then grilled or roasted to perfection, resulting in a juicy and tender meat that's bursting with flavor. In this recipe, we're using boneless and skinless chicken thighs as they tend to be more tender and flavorful than chicken breasts.

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Cook the brown rice according to package instructions, and rinse and drain the black beans.
