The Recipe: A Flavorful, Hearty Dish You’ll Love
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breast (or thighs, depending on your preference)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cooked rice (or quinoa for a healthier option)
- ½ cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prep the Ingredients: Start by prepping your ingredients. Slice the bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the onion and garlic. This will make the cooking process much faster and more efficient.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the garlic is fragrant. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
- Combine Everything: While the vegetables cook, slice the chicken into thin strips. Add the cooked rice or quinoa to the skillet along with the chicken broth. Stir well to combine, then return the chicken to the skillet, mixing it into the rice and vegetables. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, letting all the flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or paprika as needed.
- Serve and Garnish: Once everything is heated through and well-mixed, remove from heat. Plate your dish and garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and extra freshness. Serve immediately while it’s hot.
