Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut in half
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon seeded, minced serrano chile
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 cup green peas
1 cup corn
½ red bell pepper, chopped
10 cups chicken broth
4 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut in half
1 cup uncooked white rice

Steps:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and serrano chili; cook until the onion has softened, about 1 minute. Add the chicken, and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the cilantro, peas, corn, and red pepper; cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, potatoes, and rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is opaque and the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes.
