Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. 
Start chicken
2
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top. Season with half the Spanish Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Heat a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium.
  • When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook in 2 batches, if needed.) Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 4.)
  • Transfer to a plate.
Cook veggies
3
  • To the same pot over medium, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, peppers and onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add garlic, tomato sauce base, remaining Spanish Spice Blend and rice. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
Cook rice and finish chicken
4
  • Add 1 1/2 cups (2 3/4 cups) water, lemon juice and chicken stock powder. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low, then carefully add chicken to the pot. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until  chicken is cooked through** and rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Finish prep
5
  • Meanwhile, drain and roughly chop olives.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.

  • Sprinkle olives and remaining cilantro over top.
  • Squeeze lemon wedge over top, if you like.
