  • Fill a pressure cooker with water to cover a little more than half of its capacity and add the cleaned hen pieces, onion, garlic, leek, celery, soaked and drained chickpeas, bay leaves, and thyme. Close the pot, place the valve, and cook over medium-high heat. Once the pot starts making noise, lower the flame a bit and cook for 45 minutes.
  • After the cooking time is up, turn off the heat, let the steam escape through the valve, let it cool, and open. Return the pot to the heat, add oregano, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Serve the cooked rice on a plate, then add a piece of cooked hen, broth with chickpeas, and garnish with onion, cilantro, chili flakes, and lime to taste.
