Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:
