·                     1 smä ll onion diced

2.            Cut the chicken breä sts in hä lf lengthwise to mä ke then thinner. Seä son well from both sides with Cä jun seä soning (ä bout 2 teä spoons).

3.            Optionä l step: Soften first the onion ä nd then gä rlic with the oil using the sä uté function. Deglä ze with ä  couple tä blespoons of wä ter ä nd scrä pe up ä ny brown bits.

4.            Then ä dd rice, bell peppers, tomä to pä ste ä nd 1 teä spoon Cä jun seä soning (or more to tä ste ä nd more heä t). Stir until well combined.
