Tips

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best flavor.
  • Cook the chicken thighs on medium heat in a little butter or cooking spray for 5-6 minutes each side to develop a good crust for extra flavor.
  • Once cooked, set chicken aside to rest while making the rice.
  • Cook the garlic, onion, and peppers for 5-6 minutes on medium-low heat until soft before adding extra seasonings and cooking for another 2 minutes.
  • When adding cooked rice, mix it in well so every grain gets vibrant color and flavor. Add extra paprika and salt if needed.
  • Slice up the chicken thighs into cubes, then serve with the rice. You can add a little lemon juice or pair with a sauce of your choice.
