## Ingredients

- 500g chicken _(diced)_
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic granules
- 1/2 tbsp oregano
- 1 onion _(finely chopped)_
- 3 bell peppers _(finely chopped)_
- 3 tsp garlic puree _(or 3 cloves of garlic, minced)_
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 300ml chicken stock _(or vegetable stock)_
- 120ml single cream _(or double cream)_
- 500g rice _(cooked)_
- 80g cheddar cheese _(grated)_

## Method

1. **Season the chicken.** Coat the chicken in paprika, garlic granules, and oregano.
2. **Brown the chicken.** Heat a bit of oil in a large pan and fry the chicken until fully cooked and golden brown.
3. **Soften the vegetables.** Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic puree, cooking until softened.
4. **Build the sauce.** Introduce sweet chilli sauce, chicken stock, and cream - let it simmer for 5 minutes.
5. **Stir through the rice.** Incorporate the cooked rice, stirring until well combined.
6. **Grill the cheese.** Sprinkle the grated cheese on top and place it under the grill until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

## Notes

- Choose your favorite rice variety; I suggest opting for plain rice to let the vibrant flavors soak in harmoniously.
- Experiment with different cheeses or a mix, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan, for a personalized touch.
- For quick and convenient preparation, use microwaveable rice.
