One Pan Tomato Chicken and Rice in 30 Minutes

One pan chicken tomato with rice is out of this world. It’s another of our 30 minute recipes which will make you life so much easier. I make it up at once a month and my family and friends love it. I have to add it’s great for a midweek meal. 

I use chicken thighs as I like the taste, but you can use boneless skinless breasts if you like. The fat adds a nice texture to the dish though.

In therms of the spices, I use salt, pepper, onion, garlic, bell peppers, but you can add the spices of your choice.
