Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and saffron or turmeric. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Chop the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot into small pieces. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Chicken

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Cook Rice

    Add the rice to the pot and stir for 2 minutes to coat it with the vegetable mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

  4. 6

    Combine Chicken and Cook

    Return the browned chicken thighs to the pot, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.

  5. 7

    Add Peas

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen green peas. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  6. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
