INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Parboiled White Rice (cooked)
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 small Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season it with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
For the jollof rice, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and allow it to cook for a minute to deepen its flavor.
Add the chopped red bell pepper and cooked parboiled white rice to the saucepan, mixing thoroughly to coat the rice with the tomato mixture. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Let the rice simmer on low for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Plate a portion of the jollof rice and top with sliced grilled chicken breast. Serve warm.
