Chicken and Rice Recipe


Ingredients
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 4 chicken thighs
* 4 chicken drumsticks
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
* 1 small onion, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 red bell pepper, chopped
* 1 green bell pepper, chopped
* 1 3/4 cups canned tomatoes, drained and chopped
* 1 tablespoon tomato paste
* 2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
* 1 cup long-grain rice
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and/or dill weed

Directions
1. In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Cook the chicken, turning, until well browned, about 8 minutes in all. Remove chicken from pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan.
2. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the onion, and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, and the remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and bring to a simmer.
5. Stir in the rice and add the chicken in an even layer.
6. Simmer, partially covered, over moderately low heat until the chicken and rice are just done, 20 to 25 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and/or dill weed just prior to serving.
