Creating Peri Chicken & Rice can be easy if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with peri-peri spice blend, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or pot, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
5. Add Rice: Stir in the rice and toast for about 2 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors from the vegetables.
6. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
7. Return Chicken: Place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them into the rice mixture.
8. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
9. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
