  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

  3. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  5. Stir in the uncooked rice, coating it with the spices and onions.
  6. Return the chicken to the pot.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  9. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can brown the chicken in batches.
  • Adjust the spices to your preference.
  • Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to allow the rice to steam properly.
