You can cook this in a pan on the cook top or bake in the oven. You could even do in the pressure cooker - probably take about 10 minutes once it is up to pressure (I've not tried that yet)

Ingredients

2 tomatoes
1 red onion
1 garlic clove
2 tbsp olive oil
1kg chicken pieces with skin on
1 cup rice
2 cups of any stock (or water and a stock cube)
2 carrots, finely chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 corn cob with the kernels sliced off (or small tin of drained corn)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper - black or white is good

Method

  1. Turn on the oven to 180ºc
  2. Blend the tomato, garlic and onion in a food processor or blender
  3. Heat the oil in large oven proof pan; you don't want it too hot.
  4. Brown the chicken pieces - 2-3 minutes should do it.
  5. Take them out and put on a plate for now
  6. Add rice to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring and coating with the chicken juice and residual oil in the pan; the rice will go a little brown which is what you want.
  7. Pour in onion and tomato puree and cook for 2-3 minutes until the juice is cooked out a little
  8. Stir in stock and veggies and bring to the boil.
  9. Place the chicken pieces back in - nesting them down into the rice
  10. Put the lid on the pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through
