Ingredients
Instructions
Combine cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a bowl. Rub the mixture over chicken to coat. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until it's browned, about 4 minutes. Add ham, onion, and garlic; sauté 3 minutes.
Stir in rice, cook 1 minute, then deglaze pan with wine. Simmer until nearly evaporated. Add broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Bring rice mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pan, and cook until rice is tender, 20–25 minutes.
Add peas, olives, and pimientos to rice; cover pan and simmer 3 minutes to blend flavors. Remove bay leaf before serving.
Add the rice to the chicken mixture and stir to coat with oil. Cook for 1 minute.
Thaw peas in cold water and drain before adding to the pan. Stir in Spanish olives and pimientos.
