Instructions

  • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and season with paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked.

Substitute chicken with turkey, beef, or tofu for different protein options.

You can switch basmati rice with quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.
