INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/3 cup dry Basmati Rice (60g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (75g)
1/4 cup Frozen Green Peas (34g)
1/4 medium Onion (30g)
1 Garlic Clove
1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (240g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
Pinch of Saffron Threads
PREPARATION
Heat a large, deep skillet or a sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and let cook for another 2 minutes.
Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the chicken breast, searing for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Add the dry basmati rice to the pan, stirring briefly to coat the rice in the oil and flavors.
Sprinkle in the saffron threads and pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pan and allow it to cook on low heat for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
In the last 3 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through.
Once done, fluff the rice gently, slice the chicken if desired, and serve warm, enjoying the harmonious blend of saffron aroma, savory chicken, and vibrant vegetables.
