Tips:
- Cut the chicken breasts into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
- If you prefer a bit more spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet.
- For a richer flavor, you can use chicken broth instead of water.
- Pre-cook the white rice for a quicker meal preparation time.
- Feel free to use any color of bell peppers based on your taste preference.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end of cooking to brighten the flavors.
- Use a large enough skillet to avoid overcrowding the ingredients, which ensures even cooking.
