Ingredients
- 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion finely diced
- ½ red bell pepper finely diced
- ½ green bell pepper finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1.75 cups rice
- 1/2 cup wine use extra stock if you prefer
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- pinch saffron threads
- 1 cup peas if frozen no need to thaw
OPTIONAL
- 1 cup roasted red peppers sliced sliced
Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add as much chicken as will fit in the pan without crowding – cook until the chicken it is golden brown on the bottom, 3-4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook until the other side is browned, 3-4 minutes longer; the chicken will still be pink inside.
- Transfer the chicken to a large plate. Repeat until all of the chicken is browned.
- Pour off all but 1 Tbs of oil, and melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and bell peppers and cook until the vegetables start to become tender, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cumin, oregano and cook, stirring, about 1 minute.
- Add the rice and stir well to allow the oil to coat each grain, then add the wine (if using) and allow to deglaze.
- Add the bay leaves, stock, smoked paprika and saffron. Bring to a boil.
- Add chicken to top of rice and juices. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked, rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed (25-30mins)
- Sprinkle the frozen peas over the top and red peppers.
- Cover and cook until heated through.
- Remove bay leaves and serve.
