Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1.25 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
0.75 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
15 ounce tomato sauce (no seeds or skins, or pureed stewed tomatoes)
0.5 cup chicken broth
1.5 cup white rice (uncooked)
3 cup water

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the 1 1/4 pounds chicken breast pieces, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned on all sides and cooked through.
Pour in 15 ounces tomato sauce and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Stir well, bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
While chicken simmers, combine 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice, 3 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Season the chicken and sauce with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper.
Serve the simple tomato chicken over the fluffy white rice.

Notes

Ensure chicken is cut into small pieces for quick and even cooking. Use smooth tomato sauce without large chunks or seeds for low-residue adherence.
