Preparation
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. In a large pot, brown the chicken on all sides until golden, then set aside.
- Sauté the diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced bell peppers in the same pot until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Toast the rice by adding it to the pot, stirring gently to coat it, for about 2 minutes until slightly translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, stirring to blend. Gently place the browned chicken back into the pot.
- Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.
