INSTANT POT CHICKEN WITH RICE AND PEAS

Steps:

• Set an Instant Pot to sauté on high. Meanwhile, pulse the onion, bell pepper, garlic and cilantro stems in a food processor until chopped into small pieces. When the pot is hot, add the olive oil, then add the chopped vegetables and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is evaporated and the vegetables are soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken, rice, chicken broth, olives, Sazón seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Turn off the pot. Put on and lock the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set the pot to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the peas in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until heated through, about 1 minute.
• When the time is up on the Instant Pot, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position to release the remaining pressure. Turn off the pot and remove the lid. Fluff the rice and gently stir in the peas. Divide among bowls. Top with the cilantro leaves.

ONE-POT CRISPY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
• Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
• Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.
