Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 cups long-grain white rice

- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brown them on both sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, then add the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Stir and cook for another minute.
- Add the rice to the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring to coat the rice with the spices.

- Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
