Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup of diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
½ cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of cooked rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and soft. Add the bell pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the Tomatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, allowing the flavors to blend together for about 5 minutes.
Finish the Dish: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the heavy cream. Stir everything together and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve: Serve the dish over cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This dish is best served warm, straight from the skillet. It pairs wonderfully with a side of crispy bread or a light salad.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
