Ingredients

How to make it

  • Whether you are skinning the chicken or not, rinse it and pat it dry. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
  • Heat the oil and butter together in a 12 - 14 inch deep skillet; when hot, add the chicken, seasoned side down. Brown, turning once, on both side, about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a platter.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pan and saute for about 5 minutes; or until just getting browned. Add the rice and saute 2 - 3 minutes. Add the broth, roasted red peppers, saffron, bay leaf and a dash of salt and pepper; stir. Add back the chicken, nestling it into the rice; pour back any accumulated juices from the platter. Cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes; or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Take off the heat and pour the peas over the top, add the olives; cover and allow to stand 10 minutes more.

  • Remove the chicken to a warmed serving plate. Stir the peas and olives into the rice and spoon onto the plate. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
