Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
½ teaspoon paprika, divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
¾ cup chopped onion
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

½ cup white wine
⅛ teaspoon saffron

Directions

Season chicken with a 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center and golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken onto a plate; set aside.
