West African Jollof Rice with Chicken
Sautéed chicken and parboiled rice simmered in a vibrant, smoky tomato and pepper reduction that fills the kitchen with a warm, spicy aroma.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Parboiled rice
0.5 cup Tomato puree
0.5 cup Red bell pepper
0.25 cup Red onion
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Fresh ginger
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.25 tsp Dried thyme
0.5 cup Chicken bone broth
PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and season with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a blender, pulse the red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and fresh ginger until a smooth puree forms.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Pour the blended pepper mixture and tomato puree into the same pot, cooking for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the oil begins to separate.
Rinse the parboiled rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then add it to the pot along with the dried thyme and chicken bone broth.
Return the chicken to the pot, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer on low for 20 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
