INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1 tsp Saffron
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Green Peas
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Begin by slicing the red bell pepper into strips and tossing them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the bell peppers in the oven on a baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes until they soften and develop a slight char.
While the peppers roast, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until juices run clear and the meat is thoroughly cooked.
In a small saucepan, combine the cooked basmati rice with saffron (steeped in a tablespoon of warm water to release its color and flavor) and gently warm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Steam or lightly warm the green peas separately until tender but vibrant in color.
Plate the dish by placing a bed of saffron rice, topping it with sliced chicken, and artfully arranging the roasted red bell peppers and green peas around it. Serve warm.
