West African Jollof Chicken and Rice
Aromatic rice simmered in a vibrant tomato and red pepper base, served with tender pan-seared chicken breast for a smoky and satisfying West African classic.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.33 cup long-grain parboiled rice
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup red bell pepper
0.25 cup red onion
1 tsp olive oil
0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
0.5 tsp curry powder
0.25 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp fresh ginger
PREPARATION
Blend the red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
Season the chicken breast with half the salt and pepper, then sear in olive oil over medium heat until golden; remove and set aside.
In the same pan, pour in the blended pepper mixture and tomato puree, cooking for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and darkens.
Stir in the rice, curry powder, thyme, and remaining salt and pepper, coating the grains thoroughly in the sauce.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover tightly.
Place the chicken back on top of the rice, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Let the dish rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice and serving.
