Spanish Chicken and Rice image

This is a healthy, flavorful family meal. To turn this dish into a party-friendly paella, you can add 1/4 t. saffron with the rice. Then, 5 minutes before the rice is done, you can add 3/4 lb. peeled and deveined shrimp. This gives this recipe a bit of versatility.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 2-1/2 inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, including liquid
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives, chopped (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 t. salt and 1/4 t. pepper and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
