- 1 medium red onion diced
- 3 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced green bell pepper and red onion. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, spices and broth. Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet or pot with a lid and let the rice simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
