1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
2-1/2 to 3 pounds meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks)
-
2 tablespoons cooking oil
-
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
-
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes with onion and green pepper, undrained
-
1 cup tomato juice

1 cup frozen whole kernel corn

2/3 cup long grain rice
-
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions
1.
In a large resealable plastic bag combine flour, 1 teaspoon of the chili powder, the salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces, half at a time. Seal bag; shake to coat.
2.
In a very large skillet brown chicken on all sides in hot oil over medium heat about 10 mintues, turning occasionally. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside; discard drippings. Add beans, undrained tomatoes, tomato juice, corn, uncooked rice, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, the cayenne pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Bring to boiling. Transfer rice mixture to a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole. Arrange chicken pieces on top of rice mixture.
3.
Bake, covered, in a 375 degrees F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F for breasts; 180 degrees F for thighs and drumsticks) and rice is tender. Makes 6 servings.
