Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by chopping the onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Mince the garlic and set all the vegetables aside.

2

Cook the Chicken

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

4

Add Rice and Spices

Stir in the basmati rice, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and bay leaf. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the rice slightly.

5

Combine and Cook

Return the chicken to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the broth.

6

Add Peas and Serve

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen green peas. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
