Instructions
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. In 3-quart flameproof casserole (such as a Dutch oven), brown half the chicken in 1 tablespoon hot oil over medium-high heat, turning once, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside. Brown remaining chicken in 1 tablespoon oil; remove and set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Add onion and pepper to pot and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes, adding a little water to pan if dry. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Using slotted spoon, remove from pot. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pot, and cook rice until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in broth, wine, water, tomatoes, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
-
Gently stir in chicken and onion and pepper. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
