Suggest a better descriptionWash the rice in a large bowl, changing the water until it runs clear. Heat the oil in a casserole 30cm/12in in diameter (if you don’t have one, use a heavy-based frying pan). Sprinkle the chicken pieces with the all-purpose seasoning and salt and pepper and brown them well on all sides (you don’t need to cook it through at this point). Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside. Add the onion, peppers and garlic to the same pan and sauté over a medium heat until the peppers are softening. Add the allspice, turmeric, ginger and chilli and cook for a minute, stirring.
If you are using a casserole, reintroduce the chicken and continue to cook in this. If you are using a frying pan, transfer everything to an ovenproof dish, about 30cm (12in) in diameter; it must be big enough to accommodate all the chicken in a single layer.
Pour the rice all round the chicken, pour over the stock, add the thyme and bay leaves and season everything really well. If cooking on the hob, continue to simmer gently over a low heat for 40 minutes. If cooking in the oven, cook for 40 minutes at 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5. When it is cooked all the stock should be absorbed, the top golden and the chicken cooked through (pierce the thickest piece of chicken with a skewer – if the juices run clear, it is done; if not, give it another 5 minutes, then test again). You don’t need to stir the rice or cover it or do anything with the dish as it cooks.
Scatter on the olives about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Serve with wedges of lime for squeezing over.
