Savor the bold flavors of West Africa with this Herb-Spiced Jollof Rice paired with perfectly grilled chicken breast. The dish features fragrant tomato and pepper spices mingled with tender chicken, creating a balanced meal that's both comforting and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long Grain Parboiled Rice
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (diced)
1 small Yellow Onion (diced)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken breast dry, then season with salt, pepper, and the mixed dried herbs.
Lightly brush the chicken with olive oil and place it on the grill, cooking for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, heat a small pan over medium heat and add a dash of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and half-diced red bell pepper until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and allow it to cook for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with the pre-cooked long grain parboiled rice. Toss gently to evenly coat the rice with the tomato-pepper blend, creating a simple version of Jollof Rice.
Plate the rice alongside slices of the grilled chicken for a balanced, flavorful meal.
