Spanish Proverb
This brings back the flavors of Spain for me and I think you will really love this recipe. The poblano makes it a little spicier. If you like your meals a little milder, you can use a green bell pepper.

2 tsp | olive oil (divided) |
8 ounces | boneless skinless chicken thighs (cubed) |
1 medium | onion (diced) |
1 medium | poblano pepper (seeded and diced) |
1 large | rib celery (diced) |
1/2 cup | arborio rice |
1 15 ounce can | no salt added diced tomatoes |
2 1/2 cups | water |
1/2 tsp | ground cumin |
1/2 tsp | chili powder |
1/4 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) |
Place 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and saute, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides. Remove to a plate.
Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet and add the onions. Saute, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, then add the poblano and celery. Continue sauteing until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and continue sauteing for 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, water, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and cook on medium-low for about 25 minutes or until the rice is done. (Taste it and if it still tastes grainy, it's not done.) Add water, 1/4 cup at a time, if it seems necessary.
Return the chicken and stir into the rice. Cook for two minutes.
Serve.
