• 1 1/4 C. long-grain rice, preferably brown
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 can (14.5 oz.) stewed tomatoes
• 1-1/4 C. canned low-sodium chicken broth, divided
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 jar (7 oz.) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
• 2 medium (about 1-1/4 lbs.), skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut in 1/2" pieces
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 C. frozen green peas
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 2-quart casserole, combine rice, onion and oil. Mix in tomatoes, 1-C. broth, paprika, oregano, ground pepper, roasted peppers, chicken and bay leaf. Cover casserole and bake 30 minutes. Stir in peas and add an additional 1/4 C. broth, if needed, to keep rice from sticking. Bake until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through. Remove bay leaves, add salt and pepper to taste, if desired, and serve.
