Preparation Steps
1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs and drumsticks on both sides until golden brown. Set aside.
2
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened. Add the diced green bell pepper and tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes.
3
Sprinkle with Hungarian sweet paprika and ground cumin, then stir in the rice. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
4
Pour in the chicken broth, and return the chicken thighs and drumsticks to the skillet. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the broth.
5
Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges to enhance the flavors.
