Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, cook until browned on all sides, ~5 minutes. Remove to a plate.

Add onion and bell pepper to the same skillet. Sauté until softened, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in tomato paste and cayenne, cook until fragrant, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Add rice and stir to coat with oil, ~2 minutes. Pour in tomatoes and broth, scraping up any browned bits.
