10 pieces Bacon, Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces (I Use Turkey Bacon) Or You Can Use Chunks Of Ham
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 whole Green Pepper, Diced
1 whole Red Pepper, Diced
1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
3 pieces Chicken Breast (boneless, Skinless), Cut Up Into Bite-sized Pieces
2 Tablespoons Cilantro, More For Garnish
2 Tablespoons Paprika
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 can Tomato Sauce, 15 Oz
3 cups Long Grain White Rice, Rinsed/Washed (I Use Brown Rice But It Takes Longer To Cook And You May Need More Broth/Liquid)
1 package Chicken Broth (32 Oz. Box)

1
Heat a 6-quart Dutch oven or deep pot (I use an extra deep, extra wide skillet with a lid).
2
With heat on medium, cook the bacon or ham, stirring frequently making sure not to burn it.
3
When its cooked and crispy, push bacon off to the sides of the skillet (do not drain the grease).
4
Add the extra virgin olive oil and butter.
5
Add green peppers, red peppers and onions and cook until the onions have cooked through (they will become translucent).
6
Stir in chicken, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro (reserve the rest for garnish), paprika, salt and pepper.
7
Sear the chicken pieces until lightly browned.
8
Stir in tomato sauce and rice.
9
Then add the chicken broth.
10
Cover with lid and simmer on medium-low for 30 minutes or until rice is cooked (when its fluffy, youre done).
11
(OPTIONAL) Turn off heat, stir in some frozen peas and cover for 5 minutes.
12
The heat will defrost the peas while keeping their bright green color.
13
I omit this due to my daughters new food allergies to peas.
14
Garnish with reserved cilantro and serve.
