Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 large red bell peppers, seeded, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, cup into 3/4-inch pieces
8 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon paprika
3/4 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
2/3 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken, bell peppers, onion, garlic and oregano to pot. Sauté 5 minutes. Mix in paprika and cayenne pepper. Add rice and stir to coat. Mix in 2 cups broth and tomato sauce. Bring to boil. Cover pot; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken and rice are tender and liquids are absorbed, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry, about 25 minutes.
  • Mix peas into chicken and rice. Cook until peas are heated through, about 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
