How to Make Anita's Famous International Chicken And Rice Dish
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add the onions and bell peppers to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and paprika to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the pot. Add the chicken broth, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
- While the chicken is simmering, prepare the rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a separate saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
- After 45 minutes of simmering the chicken, stir in the chopped cilantro. Add the cooked rice to the chicken pot and gently stir to combine. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice (optional). Serve hot and enjoy!
