Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 pound chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon saffron threads

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and chicken and cook until the chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, paprika, saffron, oregano, and rice and stir to combine.
