This versatile rice dish can be made with chicken or ham.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cubed cooked ham or chicken

  • l/2 teaspoon thyme
  • l/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 drops hot pepper sauce
