Directions
Season chicken with pepper. Add to hot oil in Dutch oven or "paellero" and cook over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes, turning to brown on both sides. Remove from skillet; keep warm.

Add rice, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until onion is transparent and rice is lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes, rosemary, paprika, thyme, saffron and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.

Add chicken pieces, green beans, red pepper and peas. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
