Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 2-quart casserole, combine rice, onion and oil. Mix in tomatoes, 1-C. broth, paprika, oregano, ground pepper, roasted peppers, chicken and bay leaf. Cover casserole and bake 30 minutes. Stir in peas and add an additional 1/4 C. broth, if needed, to keep rice from sticking. Bake until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through. Remove bay leaves, add salt and pepper to taste, if desired, and serve.
