Step 1/3
Cook Rice and Sauté Vegetables
Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or olive oil. Add sliced bell pepper and onion, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 2/3
Cook Chicken and Simmer
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the chicken chunks to the center. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well, bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
