Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups of cooked rice
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Optional: a sprinkle of grated cheese or a dash of soy sauce for extra flavor
Estimated Cooking Time:

- Cooking Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
Instructions:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Chop the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Have your cooked rice ready.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and half of the paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sauté for about 2 minutes until they start to soften. Add the diced bell peppers, the rest of the paprika, and oregano. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the cooked rice. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-5 minutes, making sure everything is heated through and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Finish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle some grated cheese over the top or add a dash of soy sauce for an extra flavor boost. Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Enjoy your meal! This recipe is not only quick and easy but also full of flavors and nutrients. Plus, it's versatile - you can always add other veggies or spices according to your preference. Happy cooking! 🍳🌶️🍚
