Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. In a small bowl combine all of the spices for the chicken. Rub half of the spice mixture onto the chicken thighs and reserve the rest for the rice. Heat the olive oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet then add in the chicken thighs. Brown for about 2-3 minutes then flip them and brown another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken thighs onto a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, swirl to coat the bottom, then add in the onion and red bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes then add in the garlic and sauté another 1-2 minutes. Add in the rice and tomato paste and remaining spice mixture from the chicken. Stir until everything is coated. Pour in the wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the chicken broth and cilantro and add in the bay leaf.
- Simmer on the stove for 3 minutes uncovered, then cover with a lid and place it in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and stir in the peas. Garnish with green olives and extra cilantro.
