Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 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
  • fresh cilantro chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the rice to the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring to coat the rice with the spices.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture.
  5. 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.
  6. Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir gently. Cook for another few minutes until the peas are heated through.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
  9. Enjoy!
