INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Long Grain Rice
1/4 cup Tomato Purée
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1/4 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 tsp Curry Powder
1 Bay Leaf
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely charred.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomato purée, dried thyme, curry powder, and bay leaf. Let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes to release the flavors.
Add the cooked long grain rice to the saucepan, mixing thoroughly to combine with the sauce and spices. Keep on low heat for a couple of minutes to let the flavors meld, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, and serve the jollof rice alongside the sliced grilled chicken.
