    Preparation Steps

    1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened and translucent.

    2

    Add the cubed chicken breast or beef and brown on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.

    3

    Add the pureed tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

    4

    Sprinkle in the curry powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

    5

    Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the rice. Return the browned meat to the pot and gently stir to combine.

    6

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and has absorbed all the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    7

    Serve the Jollof rice hot, garnished with fresh vegetables or a side salad.
