Instructions
Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
Dica: Do not add the chicken while the skillet is still cold.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper and place them in the hot oil over high heat. Do not stir initially to allow them to brown for 2 to 5 minutes per side.
Dica: Avoid stirring the chicken at the beginning so it doesn't release water and steam instead of browning.
Season the browned chicken with smoked sweet paprika.
Dica: Smoked paprika adds color and flavor to the chicken.
Add the chopped (seeded) tomato and the small chopped carrot to the skillet.
Add the homemade seasoning with garlic, onion, and bell pepper (or the individual vegetables), and sauté well until the seasonings brown and the tomato softens.
Dica: If you are not using the homemade seasoning blend, use the equivalent amounts of onion, garlic, and bell pepper separately.
Stir in the rice and sauté briefly over high heat for a short time to lightly toast the grains and incorporate the seasonings.
Dica: This toasting step helps keep the rice fluffy.
Add the fresh peas and the three cups of warm water.
Dica: Using warm water speeds up the cooking process.
Stir to combine all ingredients and taste the liquid to adjust salt and pepper, if necessary.
Cook with the pan partially covered for about 15 to 20 minutes or until all the water has evaporated. If necessary, add more water during cooking.
Dica: Check the progress periodically.
Halfway through cooking, stir again to better distribute the peas and vegetables throughout the rice.
Dica: The vegetables tend to rise to the top, so it's good to stir to redistribute them evenly.
Once the water has completely dried up, cover the pan and let the rice rest for another 5 minutes.
Dica: This resting period is crucial for the rice to finish steaming and become fluffier.
Finish by sprinkling with fresh herbs and squeezing half a lime over the dish.
Dica: The lime adds a light acidity that enhances the flavor of the dish.
