Marinate the chicken with salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic, and 1/4 cup of naranja agria for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a large pot, then add the marinated chicken and cook until browned.

Add chopped pimiento and cebolla, and mix well.

Add frozen vegetables whole to the pot.

Pour in the leftover broth from the marinating container and some water to avoid waste.

Cover and cook until the chicken is almost done.

Add 2 tablespoons of pasta de tomate and mix well, allowing it to cook thoroughly.

Once the pasta de tomate is integrated, add the frozen vegetables and cover again.

After the vegetables are cooked and the chicken is tender, add 2 cups of water.

Add 2 cups of rice and mix well, ensuring it doesn't stick to the bottom.

Continue to stir and check for water, adding more as needed.

Once the rice is cooked to your liking, add more water if necessary for desired consistency.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
