Remove bowl of rice and allow to steam uncovered while preparing chicken. Remove water and rack or basket from pressure cooker.

    Sprinkle chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in pressure cooker. Brown chicken a few pieces at a time; set aside. Saute onions and garlic until tender. Return all chicken to pressure cooker; add bay leaf, red pepper, saffron, and chicken broth. Close pressure cooker cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Cook for 8 minutes, at 15 pounds pressure, with regulator rocking slowly. Cool pressure cooker at once. Remove chicken and stir in rice, tomato, green peas, sliced olives, and pimiento. Return chicken to pressure cooker and heat to a simmer, uncovered. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
