INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Breast (141g)
1 serving Cooked White Rice (100g)
0.5 cup Diced Tomatoes (120g)
0.25 medium Onion (50g)
0.25 medium Red Bell Pepper (40g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
Spice Mix (garlic, ginger, thyme, bay leaf)
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the jollof base: Finely chop the onion, red bell pepper, and dice the tomatoes.
In a medium pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened and aromatic.
Stir in the spice mix (garlic, ginger, thyme, and bay leaf) and allow the flavors to meld for about 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes and a splash of water, then reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to develop its signature jollof rice flavor.
While the sauce simmers, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate pan, sear the chicken breast over medium-high heat until lightly browned on both sides.
Add the seared chicken breast into the simmering tomato base and let it cook through, approximately 8-10 minutes, ensuring the flavors combine.
Prepare the cooked white rice as per package instructions if not already done. Once cooked, layer the rice on a serving plate.
Place the stewed chicken and its rich tomato sauce over the rice, allowing the vibrant jollof flavors to meld with the tender chicken.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed meal!
