Brown bone-in or boneless chicken pieces and set aside. Sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper, then stir in rice and toast briefly. Add saffron or turmeric for color, then pour in chicken broth and canned tomatoes. Nest the chicken back into the pot with peas and olives if desired.
Cover and simmer until rice is tender and chicken cooked through. Rest before serving.
Serve with lime wedges and chopped cilantro. This one-pot meal is hearty and kid-friendly.
