Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and kosher salt to create the marinade. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the marinated chicken thighs, searing them for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add minced garlic and diced onion, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in diced red bell pepper and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1 ½ cups basmati rice, a pinch of red pepper flakes, turmeric powder, and 3 cups of chicken stock. Stir together and fold in frozen peas and a small pinch of salt.
- Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the rice mixture. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce to low heat, and let cook for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pot rest, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork, mixing the chicken throughout. Serve on warm plates, drizzling with Perinaise and garnishing with green onions.

Notes
Allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes enhances flavor. A heavy-bottomed Dutch oven ensures even cooking.
