Lunch: Cilantro Chicken

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 large onion
1 red bell pepper
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 c. long grain rice
1 can chicken broth
1/4 c. dry white wine
1/4 c. water
1 can whole tomatoes
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1 c. cilantro

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.
