Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound chicken breast (or tofu for a vegetarian option), cubed
1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed chicken (or tofu) to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
While the sauce simmers, prepare the rice according to package instructions if you haven’t already.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the dish over the cooked rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Serving and Storage Tips:
This dish is perfect for meal prep! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to add a little extra nutrition to your meal.
For an added twist, top with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese before serving.
