Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil to create a marinade. Add chicken thighs, coat evenly, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rinsed rice with water. Bring to a boil, cover, simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed, then let sit covered for 5 minutes.
- In a blender, add cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, mayonnaise, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water if needed for desired consistency. Set aside for serving.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
- To serve, fluff rice with a fork, distribute on plates, top with chicken thighs, and drizzle with green sauce. Garnish as desired.

Notes
For best flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Rinse rice to avoid stickiness. Adjust sauce consistency with water if too thick. Serve hot for optimal flavor.
