Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them with salt, black pepper, oregano, and cumin on both sides.

Cooking Process

  1. 3

    Heat Oil and Sear Chicken

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onions, red, and green bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.

  3. 5

    Add Garlic and Tomato Sauce

    Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute. Then pour in the tomato sauce, mixing well to combine.

  4. 6

    Add Rice and Broth

    Stir in the long-grain rice, ensuring it’s coated with the sauce. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil.

  5. 7

    Simmer with Chicken

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Nestle the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve the Dominican Power with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
