Ingredients

    ð`1 whole chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces
    ðgCoarse salt and ground pepper
    ðg2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    ðg1 small yellow onion, diced medium
    ðg2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
    ðg4 carrots, diced medium
    ðg1 teaspoon paprika
    ðg1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    ðg1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    ðg1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
    ð`3 cups sliced green beans (about 3/4 pound)
    ðg1 cup chickpeas (from a 15.5-ounce can), rinsed and drained
    ðg2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water

Directions

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lower third. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over high. Cook chicken, skin side down, until golden and crisp, 6 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until browned, 6 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.

- Reduce heat to medium and add onion, garlic, and carrots to pot. Cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until onion is translucent, 4 minutes. Stir in paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and rice and cook 1 minute.

- Add green beans, chickpeas, and broth and season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken, skin side up, on top of rice mixture. Bring to a boil, cover pot, and place in oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through and liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
