1

Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from getting too sticky. Let it drain while preparing the other ingredients.

2

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent.

3

Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4

Next, add 1 pound of chicken, cut into pieces, and sear on all sides for about 5-7 minutes until browned.

5

Dice 1 green bell pepper and add it to the pan. Stir and let it cook for about 3 minutes.

6

Chop 2 tomatoes and add them along with 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes have softened.

7

Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, then add the rinsed rice and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil.

8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for 20 minutes without lifting the lid.

9

After 20 minutes, quickly add 1 cup of peas on top of the rice, re-cover, and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.

10

Once the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, remove the pan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.
