- Chopped onions
- Tomato paste
- Knorr chicken stock pot

Instructions:
- Begin by placing cleaned chicken thighs into a ziplock bag. Add garlic granules, ground ginger, seasoning cubes, salt, thyme, curry powder, and black pepper. Massage the spices into the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Set aside to marinate.
- Preheat your Saladmaster Electric Core Skillet to 230°C. Once heated, add the chicken thighs directly into the skillet without any oil. Fry for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Into the same skillet, add chopped onions, mixed bell peppers, and tomato paste. Stir and allow the vegetables to soften for a few minutes. Next, add the Knorr chicken stock pot, Jollof seasoning, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well.
- Add the washed rice to the skillet and mix thoroughly. Pour in enough water to cover the rice and taste the seasoning. Adjust the flavours to your liking.
- Cover the skillet and set it to the ‘rice’ setting. Allow the rice to cook until all the water is absorbed, and the grains are tender.
- Once the rice is cooked, stir it gently, then nestle the cooked chicken thighs back into the skillet. Cover and cook for an additional 9 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.
