Ingredients

1 lb Chicken breast
2 cups Jollof rice
2 tbsp Tomato paste
2 tbsp Palm oil
1 large Onion
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Thyme

Method

Heat palm oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until golden-brown, 6–8 minutes.
Add chicken breast and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
Add jollof rice, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and thyme, stirring to combine, then add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Fluff rice with a fork and serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
To enhance the flavor, let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
