Rice With Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

- 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces - 2 cups of rice - 4 cups of water or chicken broth - 1 onion, finely chopped - 2 garlic cloves, minced - 1 bell pepper, diced - 2 tablespoons of olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - Optional: spices (such as paprika, curry powder, turmeric) or herbs (such as parsley, cilantro) for additional flavor

Instructions

1. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. 2. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper, and cook until the vegetables are soft. 3. Add the rice and stir to coat with the olive oil and vegetables. If you are using spices or herbs, add them now and stir well. 4. Pour in the water or chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. 5. Return the chicken to the skillet and mix with the cooked rice and vegetables. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. 6. Serve hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
