Creating Caribbean Chicken & Rice is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, season with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and allspice. Set aside to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the Peppers: Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they soften.
6. Add the Rice: Pour in the uncooked rice, stirring to coat with oil and spices, and cook for 2 minutes.
7. Combine Broth and Sauce: Add chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
8. Simmer: Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
9. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas, cover the pot again, and let sit for an additional 5 minutes.
10. Fluff and Garnish: Use a fork to fluff the rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this one-pot wonder that bursts with Caribbean flavors effortlessly!
