Ingredients

  • 10.5 oz (300 g) chicken breast
  • 3/4 cup uncooked (5 oz / 140 g) rice
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

How to make it, step by step

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