Cooking Instructions
Brown the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Vegetables
Stir in the bell peppers, carrots, and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add Rice and Spices
Add the rice, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Add Broth and Cook
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Garnish and Serve
Remove the bay leaves. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
