Hey everyone! I wanted to share one of my go-to recipes for a comforting meal that's both easy and delicious: Chicken Rice. This dish is perfect for busy weeknights and is sure to please the whole family. Here's how I make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup long-grain rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper (red or green), diced
• 1 cup frozen peas (or fresh if you prefer)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic and Bell Pepper: Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the rice, making sure it’s well-coated with the oil and spices. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
7. Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
