Before You Start

Dice the onion and pepper, trim the green beans, mince the garlic, and have the cooked brown rice and peas ready to fold in.

How To Make It
  1. Warm the olive oil in a pan over medium high, add the chicken thigh, and brown 4 to 5 minutes a side, until golden, then set it aside.
  2. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until soft, then stir in the smoked paprika and saffron until fragrant.
  3. Add the green beans and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until they brighten and begin to soften.
  4. Fold in the cooked brown rice and peas, nestle the chicken back in, cover, and simmer 10 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F in the center with clear juices.
    165°F
  5. Stir in the spinach and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until wilted.
  6. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve hot.
Fix It: If the rice looks dry before the chicken is at 165°F, add a splash of water and keep it covered so it steams through.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
