Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 chicken breast bone-in skin-on, split
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion diced, medium
  • 1 cup red pepper diced
  • 1 cup long grain rice (uncooked)
  • 15 ounce tomato sauce low sodium, canned
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon)
  • 2 teaspoons oregano dried
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 saffron optional, crushed threads
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 cup pea (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons green olives garnish, sliced

Instructions

  1. If your slow cooker has a stove-top safe insert, place it over medium high heat and add oil to the insert. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and sear on both sides until golden brown, 3-4 minutes a side. (Note: You can also do this in a stock pot.)
  2. Turn off heat and add the next 13 ingredients to the slow cooker (onion through cayenne). Stir well and heat on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 5-6 hours.
  3. Fluff rice with a fork and stir in peas 10 minutes before serving.
  4. Garnish with green olives and fresh parsley to serve.
