Let's Get Started
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and turmeric.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced tomato and frozen peas to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in the long-grain white rice and cook for 1 minute, coating the rice with the vegetable mixture.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the rice mixture.
- Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
