Spanish Yellow Rice and Chicken

Use a very large frying pan. Brown chicken in olive oil. Remove chicken and set aside. In the oil remaining, saute the pepper and onion. Return the chicken to the pan. Add tomatoes, Vigo, salt, garlic, and water. Boil 15-20 minutes. If your frying pan is not ovenproof, you will transfer all ingredients to a 9 X 13 baking dish. Add rice evenly and bay leaves on top. Cover with lid or foil and bake 40 minutes at 325 degrees. Remove bay leaves. Sprinkle with peas and pimientos. Serve with Cuban bread.
