INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast, grilled
1/2 cup cooked Long Grain Parboiled Rice
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce (No Salt Added)
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of dried thyme.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the tomato sauce along with the dried thyme, bay leaf, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for a minute to meld the flavors.
Mix in the cooked rice, ensuring it is well coated with the sauce and spices. If needed, add a splash of water to help combine everything.
Season the rice with salt and black pepper to taste, and let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
To serve, plate the flavorful Jollof rice and top with slices of the grilled chicken. Enjoy this balanced and herb-infused meal.
