Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 cups rice (long grain or jasmine)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sautéing the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Mixing in the Rice and Broth: Carefully stir in the rice, chicken broth, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmering to Perfection: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
  5. Adding the Peas: Stir in the frozen peas for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  6. Fluffing for Serving: Once everything is cooked, fluff with a fork before serving.
