Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp thyme dried
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • parsley chopped fresh for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into strips.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  • Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  • Stir in the sliced grilled chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
