**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Chicken:** Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper.
2. **Sear the Chicken:** In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. **Saute the Aromatics:** In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook them for a few minutes until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.
4. **Add the Peppers:** Next, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet. Saute them with the onion and garlic until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
5. **Combine Ingredients:** Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and chicken broth. Stir everything together to combine the flavors.
6. **Season and Simmer:** Sprinkle in the paprika and cumin, adjusting the seasonings with salt and pepper to suit your taste. Give everything a gentle stir and bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. **Let It Cook:** Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. **Serve and Garnish:** Once the dish is ready, serve it hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
