In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 500 g of chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add 1 diced bell pepper and 1 diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in 1 cup of arborio rice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and season with 1 teaspoon of aji seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add 2 cups of chicken broth and return the chicken to the pot. If using, stir in a pinch of saffron. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
