- Cook the chicken thighs on medium heat in a little butter or cooking spray for 5-6 mins each side to develop a good crust for extra flavor.
- Once cooked, set the chicken aside to rest while you make the rice.
- Cook the garlic, onion and peppers for 5-6 mins on medium low heat till soft before adding the extra seasonings and cooking for another 2 mins.
- When adding the cooked rice, make sure to mix it in well so every grain gets that vibrant color and flavor. Add extra paprika and salt if needed.
- Slice up the chicken thighs into cubes then serve with the rice! Add a little lemon juice or pair with a sauce of your choice.
