It was easy... I made a HUGE FAUX PAS... Used raw beans instead of the cooked/canned beans... in that case I should have let the beans cook up first and then added the rice and seasonings... but after a few hours my beans are nice and tender... finally !

I love this recipe. I make it almost once a week. The thighs are so tender and juicy and the adobo sauce gives it a unique and delicious flavor. I serve it with brown rice. Delicious and easy dinner and great left overs!

We really enjoyed the rich sauce and how flavorful the chicken was in this dish. The fact that it's a crockpot recipe sweetens the deal. Will definitely make again.
