Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, combine peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Puree until smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine coriander, chili powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat chicken dry and season all over with spice mixture. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large, straight-sided ovenproof skillet or braiser pan over medium-high. Add chicken in a single layer, skin-sides down, and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add rice to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until nutty-smelling and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in cilantro mixture and cook until mostly absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broth, 1 cup water, bay leaf, and peas. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet in a single layer, skin-sides up. Bring to a boil. Scatter capers and olives over top, then cover and transfer to oven. Cook until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken (near but not touching bones) reads 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve, garnished with more cilantro.
