Paella valenciana

Large chicken breast--cubed
3-6 cloves garlic--chopped
4-6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or best available)
1 large onion
1 red pepper--chopped
3-4 large tomatoes--chopped
2 cups Uncle Ben's converted rice
4 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon (or 4 cubes)
large pinch of spanish saffron (for yellow color and flavor)
1 lb bag of frozen green peas

(I use a chinese wok to cook this)
Cook chicken, garlic, and olive oil until browning
Add rice, water, and all other ingredients except green peas
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and scorching on bottom of pan
Cook until water is almost completely absorbed
Add frozen peas and stir until they are thawed and remaining water is absorbed by the rice

Serve with lemon wedges, french bread, olive oil for dipping bread, tomato salad.
Typical dessert would be fresh fruit such as apples, oranges, or pears.

Enjoy! (Dad's)
