Instructions

Season the chicken with lime juice, onion, cubanela pepper, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, all day.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and brown the marinated chicken pieces on all sides.
Remove the chicken and add chopped pork chops to the pot, cooking until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Add olive oil, onion, cubanela pepper, and crushed garlic to the pot and sauté until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste and sugar, then add the rice, mixing well to coat the grains.
Pour in the water, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, add the chicken and pork back to the pot, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
After cooking, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and parsley before serving.
