Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the boneless chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the chicken broth, rice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice and potatoes are tender.

  3. 6

    Add Peas and Cilantro

    Stir in the green peas and chopped cilantro. Allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Finish with Lime

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
