Spicy Red Rice With Chicken and Vegetables image

Another dish that I discovered on another site, then tweaked to my taste preferences. For a dish that's not so spicy, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and substitute plain or herbed diced tomatoes for the tomatoes with green chilies.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper, to taste
3 large red bell peppers, seeded, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
8 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon hot Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice (I prefer Uncle Ben's)
1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium low-fat chicken broth
0.5 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, lightly drained, reserving juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken, bell peppers, onion, garlic and oregano to pot. Saute 5 minutes, then mix in paprika and cayenne pepper. Add rice and stir to coat.
  • Mix in broth and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Cover pot; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken and rice are tender and liquids are absorbed, adding more liquid (I use the reserved juice) by 1/4 cupfuls if dry, about 25 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

I found this recipe to be a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
