INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked parboiled long grain rice
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
1 Garlic clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the chicken.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt, pepper, and the mixed dried herbs. Lightly rub with olive oil.
Place the seasoned chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is roasting, heat a small pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant and translucent.
Add the tomato paste and diced red bell pepper to the pan, stirring well to combine with the aromatics. Allow the mixture to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the cooked long grain rice, ensuring that the tomato-herb mixture evenly coats the rice. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Once the chicken is done, slice it into strips and serve atop or alongside the vibrant jollof rice.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra herbs if desired and enjoy your balanced meal.
