Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine thyme, rosemary, tarragon, and lavender. Place ham in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Rub herbs all over ham and set aside until ham reaches room temperature, 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake ham until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reaches 155°F, 2 to 2-1/2 hours (about 25 minutes per pound). Transfer ham to a wire rack. Tent ham loosely with aluminum foil and let stand until the center of ham registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes more. Meanwhile, skim and discard fat from pan drippings. Transfer defatted drippings to a small saucepan, add chicken stock, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm until serving. Once ham has rested, transfer to a cutting board, carve, and serve with jus on the side.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the chicken and seasoning mix together until well-coated.

• Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when hot, add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (165°F).

• Stir in the beans, salsa, rice, and water to the chicken; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.

• Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff and serve hot. (For a bit of freshness and added spice, garnish with fresh cilantro and diced jalapeño.)
