Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and add the paprika, cumin powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
Step 8
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low.
Step 9
Cover the saucepan and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it onto plates or a serving platter.
Step 11
Spoon the savory chicken and its sauce over the bed of rice.
Step 12
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Sugar-Free Savory Chicken Over Rice!
