Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat oil in a large flameproof casserole pan over medium heat. Add half the chicken and cook, turning, for 2-3 mins or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken. Add the onion and carrot to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until onion softens. Add garlic, capsicum, paprika and cumin. Cook, stirring, for 1 min or until aromatic.
  2. Step 2

    Stir in the rice, tomato, orange juice and 11/2 cups (375ml) water. Bring to the boil. Return chicken to pan. Cover and bake for 50 mins or until rice is tender.
  3. Step 3

    Stir in the peas. Bake, uncovered, for 5 mins or until the peas are tender. Sprinkle with orange zest to serve.
