In medium bowl or spice bag, mix all spice rub
ingredients together. Add chicken and rub spices into all sides
of chicken. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 1
hour.
Over medium heat in heavy 4-quart pot with cover,
heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute chicken, turning frequently,
until golden brown on all sides - about 5 minutes. Remove chicken
and set aside.
Add remaining tablespoon of oil to pot. Mix
in onion and garlic; saute for 3 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir
in chicken broth, roasted peppers, tomatoes with juice, black
beans, corn and salt. Bring to simmer; add chicken back to pot.
Cover and reduce heat to low; cook for 20 minutes. Turn chicken
and cook for another 20 minutes, or until juices run clear when
thigh is pierced with tip of sharp knife and rice is tender. Add
cilantro; transfer to serving dish and garnish with sour cream,
cilantro sprigs and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
