  1. Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Step 2: Chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Dice the red bell pepper and tomatoes.
  4. Step 4: In the same pan, add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and red bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the rice, ensuring it is well-coated with the oil and vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  7. Step 7: Return the chicken to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Step 8: Stir the dish occasionally to prevent sticking. If necessary, add a small amount of water if the mixture becomes too dry before the rice is fully cooked.
  9. Step 9: Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
