Preparing Easy One Pot Chicken Ozro is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Add diced onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Brown the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add it to the pot, cooking until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Add Vegetables: In the same pot, add chopped bell pepper and diced carrot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Incorporate Spices: Stir in cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Mix well to coat the vegetables.
6. Add Rice and Broth: Pour in the basmati rice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
7. Return Chicken to Pot: Once boiling, return the browned chicken to the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover.
8. Cook: Let everything cook covered for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the broth and is tender.
9. Fluff and Serve: Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and flavor.
