How to Make It:

1️⃣ Roast the Chicken Just Right:

• Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder (and paprika if you like). Roast at 375°F for 25–30 minutes or until juicy and golden. This gives that crisp skin, tender meat, and classic homemade flavor we crave.

2️⃣ Make the Creamy Mash:

• Boil peeled potatoes, mash with butter, a splash of cream or milk, and a pinch of salt. Fluffy, rich, and the perfect comfort food base to balance everything else.

3️⃣ Simmer the Beans & Rice:

• Combine cooked white rice with pinto beans and a splash of broth. Heat over medium until it thickens slightly. This makes it hearty, savory, and full of Southern-style vibes.

4️⃣ Plate It Up Like a Pro:

• Spoon mashed potatoes on the plate, add a hearty scoop of beans and rice, then pile on the sliced baked chicken. Every part of this dish screams satisfying, down-home delicious, and family-style favorite.

5️⃣ Bonus Flavor Boost:

• Drizzle a little chicken juice or gravy over the top for extra juiciness, saucy comfort, and that final Southern-style hug on a plate.
