Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken legs to the bowl and coat them well with the mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the grated carrots to the saucepan and cook for another 3 minutes.
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to combine with the onions and carrots.
Pour in 2 cups of water and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, place the marinated chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Once the rice is done, remove the bay leaf and fluff the rice with a fork.
Serve the garlic cilantro chicken over the carrot rice and garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
