Ingredients
-
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons light adobo seasoning (such as Goya ®)
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
-
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
-
1 medium onion, diced
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons tomato paste
-
1 ½ cups medium-grain rice
-
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
-
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
-
1 large bay leaf
-
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
-
1 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
-
1 cup sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
-
Season chicken thighs with black pepper and adobo seasoning.
-
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir green pepper, red pepper, onion, garlic, and tomato paste in the hot oil, until the vegetables have softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pot and set aside.
-
Pan fry chicken in the pot until browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Return cooked vegetables to the pot along with rice, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 20 minutes.
-
Stir in peas and olives and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard bay leaf. Stir in cilantro and serve.
