Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken cut into cubes
- 1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound small red potatoes cut into quarters, about 8 potatoes
- Coarse salt
- Cracked pepper
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole plum tomatoes
- 3/4 cups long grain rice
- 1 1/2 cups low sodium, fat free chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
Directions
Heat the oil in a non-stick paella pan, wok pan or 12-inch skillet. Add the chicken, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the onions and potatoes and cook, stirring often, until onions have softened and are lightly golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add carrots, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, tomatoes, rice, broth and the cooked chicken. If it appears too dry, add more liquid. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove cover, add the peas to the top without stirring in. Cover and cook 5 minutes more or until rice is cooked through and soft.
[Morph] This is super easy to turn into a seafood mock paella by adding shrimp, clams, scallops or pieces of fish during the last 5 to 8 minutes of cooking. Or reheat leftover One Pan chicken chili on the stove with some water or chicken stock to moisten. Place shellfish on top and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the shellfish opens. Discard any that don't open.
[Morph] Thin the batch out with chicken broth or canned tomatoes and water to soup consistency and you've got a super hearty stew/soup meal.

I went easy on the cumin and paprika and used the chopped tomatoes I had on hand instead of whole. Also went with chicken thighs instead of breasts. It didn't look too promising while I was cooking it but it did turn out very well and tastes great. We'll make this again!

My husband and kids are hard to please and they really enjoyed this recipe. I cooked my potatoes with a bit of the chicken broth which kinda carmelized with the onions before adding the rest of the ingredients. My family wants me to make this more often now. One other last item that pleases me is that it is a healthy dish with not much added fat.
