Ingredients
-
¼ cup vegetable oil
-
1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
-
1 onion, chopped
-
1 green bell pepper, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 cloves garlic
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
-
1 cup rice
-
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 bay leaf
-
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
-
1 cup green peas
-
½ cup sliced black olives
-
½ cup raisins
-
¼ cup chopped pimento peppers
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir chicken pieces until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, and whole garlic cloves in the same Dutch oven until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Return chicken to the onion mixture. Add tomatoes, rice, salt, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaf. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover all the ingredients.
-
Bake chicken-rice mixture in the preheated oven until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Stir peas, olives, raisins, and pimento peppers into the chicken-rice mixture. Bake until warmed through, an additional 15 minutes.
Recipe Tip
You can substitute corn for peas and brown rice for white rice.
