Smoky Tomato Jollof Rice with Tender Chicken
Chicken breast and parboiled rice simmered in a vibrant, smoky tomato-pepper reduction for a deeply aromatic and satisfying one-pot meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup parboiled rice
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup red onion
0.25 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup tomato puree
1 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 cup chicken bone broth
1 whole bay leaf
0.25 tsp dried thyme
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sear in the skillet until golden brown on all sides.
Remove the chicken and set aside; in the same pan, sauté the diced red onion and blended red bell pepper until softened.
Stir in the tomato puree, smoked paprika, and dried thyme, cooking for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor profile.
Add the parboiled rice, chicken bone broth, and bay leaf, stirring to ensure the rice is well coated in the sauce.
Return the chicken to the pan, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer for 15-18 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove the bay leaf and fluff the rice with a fork before serving warm.
