In a blender, pulse the red bell pepper and tomato puree until smooth.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet, browning on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, thyme, curry powder, sea salt, and black pepper, cooking until the spices become fragrant.
Pour in the blended pepper-tomato mixture and the chicken bone broth, then add the bay leaf.
Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly and stir it into the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat, let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and remove the bay leaf before serving.
