How to Make It π³
Ready to get cooking? Here's the step-by-step:

2. Once the chicken is cooked, add the onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant. You'll smell the goodness coming together! π
3. Now, throw in the carrots, bell peppers, and rice. Give it a little stir to mix everything. π
4. Pour in the chicken broth, sprinkle your spices, and season with salt and pepper. Stir it all together and bring it to a simmer.
5. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the flavors are perfectly combined. You'll want to check that the rice has absorbed the broth and is soft and fluffy.
6. That's it! Serve it up and enjoy your cozy, comforting meal. π
