Print Recipe

A comforting and vibrant dish that combines succulent chicken, colorful vegetables, and fluffy rice in a delightful, hassle-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook in the skillet for about 5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add chopped onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Add Garlic and Rice: Stir in minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add rinsed long-grain rice to soak up flavors.
  5. Pour in Broth: Carefully add chicken broth while stirring. Bring to a gentle boil; reduce heat to low. Return chicken to the pan, nestling it into the rice.
  6. Simmer Away: Cover with a lid and let simmer for 20–25 minutes until rice is tender and has absorbed most of the broth. Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
