Spanish Chicken and Rice
This easy to put together meal tastes great! You can also serve the Spanish chicken and rice with flour tortillas and hot sauce!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
kosher salt and pepper
1 medium onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, 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 (optional)
Directions:
Prep: 40 minutes
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until golden brown, 2 minutes per side.
Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, tomatoes and their liquid, rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Stir in the peas into the rice and chicken and cook, covered, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Spoon the chicken and rice onto individual plates and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with the olives, if desired.
