11. Rinse rice thoroughly until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.

44. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Coat evenly with spice mixture.
55. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 6-7 minutes per side.
66. Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain into thin strips.
77. Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro.
