Ingredients

  • 300 g chicken breast
  • 140 g rice
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Method, step by step

  1. Rinse the rice under the tap until the water runs clear and cook it in salted water following the packet directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the rice cooks, dice the chicken breast, cut the three peppers into strips and slice the onion. Mince the garlic.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat and brown the chicken 5-6 minutes, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. In the same frying pan, sauté the onion and minced garlic 2 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  5. Add the three pepper strips and sauté 4-5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still a little crisp.
  6. Return the chicken to the frying pan, add the cooked rice and the soy sauce, and stir-fry everything together for 2 minutes so the flavour blend well.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
