Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Cut celery into 1/4-inch pieces. Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onion, keeping white and green parts separate. Roughly chop cilantro.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season chicken all over with Smoked-Paprika Garlic Blend and salt. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. Set aside. (NOTE: You will finish cooking the chicken in step 4.)
Add pepper, celery and green onion whites. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min. Add rice and garlic puree. Cook stirring often, until coated, 1 min. Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, stock powder and tomato sauce base. Stir to combine.
Bring rice mixture to a boil over high.Once boiling, add chicken, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 14-16 min.**
