Season the chicken thigh pieces generously with salt and black pepper.
Aproximativ 5 min.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 3
Add the chicken to the pot in a single layer and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Aproximativ 7 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not cook the chicken through completely at this stage, just get a good sear.
- 4
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- 5
Add the yellow onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- 6
Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Aproximativ 7 min.
- 7
Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.

Deglaze the pot with the dry white wine, scraping up any remaining bits from the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 9
Stir in the chicken broth, rinsed long grain rice, annatto powder, crushed saffron threads, dried oregano, ground cumin, and bay leaf.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 10
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Aproximativ 20 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not lift the lid during this time to allow the rice to cook evenly.
- 11
After 20 minutes, gently stir in the reserved chicken and frozen green peas.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 12
Re-cover the pot and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Aproximativ 15 min.
- 13
Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: This resting period allows the rice to fully absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffy.
