Ingredients

• 1/2 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup White rice
• 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 total Bell peppers (red and green)

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with a pinch of salt, cumin, and chili powder.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Add diced bell peppers and cherry tomatoes to the skillet; cook for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Stir in the rice, ensuring it gets coated with the spices and vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through.
8. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot.
