Cut the chicken thigh meat into large pieces and rub with salt and black pepper.
Sear the chicken in olive oil for 9 minutes until browned on all sides.
Add the onion, garlic, and peppers, then soften for 6 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and turmeric and cook for 5 minutes to build the sauce base.
Add the rice to the pot and turn it in the chicken base for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, cover, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
Rest the galinhada for 10 minutes and serve with parsley.
💡 Tip: After searing the chicken, turn the rice in the same oil; the flavor on the bottom of the pot moves into the pilaf.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve galinhada as a one-pot main with lime, parsley, and optional pickled hot peppers.
