Pat the chicken dry. In a wide, deep pan over a fairly high heat, brown the chicken in a little oil. Remove and season to taste.
Reduce the heat and add the onion and sweet pepper to the pan, along with a little more oil. Cook gently for 10 minutes or until very tender.
Stir in the garlic and rice, then pour in the stock and bring to a simmer.
Add the browned chicken, oregano and a little salt. Cover tightly and simmer gently for 45 minutes, or until the chicken and rice are tender.
Turn off the heat and leave covered for 5 minutes.
Season to taste, then stir in the basil. Sprinkle with paprika and Parmesan, if using. Serve with a bowl of salad greens on the side.

TASTE’s take:
During the long cooking, the onions and peppers will practically disintegrate, infusing their flavour into the rice.
