Add the chicken thighs to the MAMBO and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Remove the chicken from the MAMBO and set it aside on a plate.

Sprinkle the ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

Add the white rice to the MAMBO and toast it with the vegetables and spices for 2-3 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent the rice from burning.

Open the MAMBO and stir in the frozen peas and sliced green olives. Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture.
