INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Green Peas
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 pinch Saffron Threads
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and sear until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the ground turmeric and saffron threads, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the cooked brown rice and low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine and coat the rice with the spices.
Return the chicken breast to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes to let the flavors meld and the chicken finish cooking.
Fold in the green peas during the last 2 minutes of simmering.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
