DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and swirl to coat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until fat is translucent and edges begin to crisp, about 2 - 3 minutes.
|
|
|
|
2:
Add chicken and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add onions, peppers and carrots and saute until onions are slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice and saute until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
|
|
|
|
3:
Stir in 2 cups broth, tomatoes, paprika and salt. Turn heat up to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until rice is al dente and most liquid had been absorbed, about 10 minutes. If the liquid evaporates too quickly, add 1/2 cup broth.

4:
Season with black pepper, to taste, and garnish with parsley, to serve.
