Oven Baked Spanish Chicken With Rice

If you have a large enough baking dish you can throw in a few more pieces of chicken, i made this in my small roaster, but i think it would work in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, adjust all spices to taste and please do not omit the olives they are what makes this dish!!

Steps

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with seasoned salt and black pepper then add to the skillet.
Brown on both sides then remove to a plate.
Add in the onions , bell pepper , jalapeno pepper , garlic and chili flakes saute until soft.
Add in tomatoes with juice , broth , rice , chili powder , cinnamon and cumin.
Mix with wooden spoon and bring to a boil.
Season with more seasoned salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer to a large greased baking dish or roasting pan.
Top with the browned chicken pieces , then sprinkle the olives all over.
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes , or until the rice is tender.
Uncover then spoon picante sauce over the chicken.
To with with shredded cheddar cheese.
Return to oven to bake 3-5 minutes.
