Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless chicken thighs
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup bell peppers (diced)
2 tbsp olive oil
Black pepper (to taste)
1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients by chopping vegetables and measuring rice.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Add chicken thighs seasoned with black pepper and cook until browned on both sides (approximately 5-7 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add rice and pour in chicken broth; bring to a boil before reducing heat.

Cover and cook for another 15 minutes or until the rice is tender; fluff with a fork before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
