Boil chicken until cooked through and easily falls off the bone.

Allow chicken to cool slightly, then remove from the bones and discard the bones.

Reserve 1 quart of the chicken broth.

Return the cooked chicken meat to the reserved broth.

Bring the chicken and broth to a boil.

Add Vigo yellow rice dinner mix to the broth, following package instructions.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, adding hot water if needed.

Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Stir in pimentos and frozen green peas before serving. (Optional)

Serve hot.
