- 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder or crushed cube
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp cumin
- 2 TB olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 4 chicken breast cubed, skinless, boneless

- 2 bell pepper seeded and diced, one green and one red

Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine first 9 ingredients to make seasoning mix. Use fork to whisk seasoning mix well and set aside.
- Heat oil in large heavy pan or pot. Add onions and chicken, cooking just until chicken is partly cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add rice and stir well. Add entire small bowl of seasoning mix, stirring well.
- Add tomatoes with juices and chicken stock. Bring to boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, keeping lid tightly closed (no peeking.)
- Add in diced peppers and shrimp, stirring into the rice mixture (if necessary, add a bit of water.) Cover and simmer another 5 minutes, or until shrimp just turns opaque. Liquid should be pretty much absorbed by rice.
- Serve warm, and garnish with cilantro.
