Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 6 oz chorizo sausage
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 6 oz chorizo (casings removed) and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat.

  2. 2

    Season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until golden on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped green pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the 1 cup rice and toast for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth and return the chicken and chorizo to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Fluff with a fork and serve hot.
