Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat oil in a pot over medium until shimmering; add ham and cook until crisp, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Add onions, garlic, bay leaves, paprika, and saffron to oil; sweat, covered, over medium heat, until onions soften, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to high.
Deglaze pot with sherry, scraping up any brown bits, then reduce until nearly evaporated, 5 minutes. Stir in broth and tomatoes; bring to a boil.
Stir in chicken, rice, olives, and pimentos; season with salt and pepper, then return to a boil. Immediately transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, cover with foil, and transfer to the oven.
Bake casserole, covered, 25 minutes. Remove foil, stir in peas and ham, and bake 10 minutes more.
Combine parsley, almonds, and zest; sprinkle over Arroz con Pollo.
