1
Combine the salt with 1 teaspoon of the paprika; sprinkle evenly over chicken.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron or heavy skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken to the hot pan, skin side down, and brown about 3 minutes.
3
Turn chicken, add garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon paprika to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth and rice. Mix well and arrange chicken on top of rice.
4
Bring to a boil, and then cover and reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
5
Remove from heat, arrange the peas and red peppers on top of chicken and rice, and then replace the lid and set aside for 5 minutes to lightly steam the vegetables. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley if desired and serve hot.
