Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper finely chopped, small green
- 1 bell pepper finely chopped, small red
- 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped, small
- 3 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2/3 cup long grain white rice uncooked
- 1 diced tomato 14 ounce can, no-salt-added
- 3 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup green olives chopped
- cilantro Avocado, Lime Wedges, optional topping
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or other sturdy lidded pot. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken and brown in a single layer for 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Sauté the bell peppers and onions in the remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
- Return the chicken to the pan and add the rice, tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes. Allow the contents to come to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes (or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender).
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean cutting board and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the green olives.
- Serve topped with cilantro, avocado slices, and lime wedges for squeezing.
