Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, chopped
- 250 milliliters Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 180 grams Long-grain white rice
- 360 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the paprika, cumin powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the saucepan and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it onto plates or a serving platter.
Spoon the savory chicken and its sauce over the bed of rice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Sugar-Free Savory Chicken Over Rice!
