Chicken with Rice and Peppers

Clean the chicken, detach the thighs, wings, and breast, and set them aside

Cut the carcass into pieces and use it to prepare a broth along with the bunch of herbs and the bird's innards

Drizzle the chicken pieces with lemon juice, sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and paprika, and let them rest for about half an hour to absorb the flavors

Meanwhile, cut the peppers in half, remove the seeds and white membranes, wash them, dry them, and finally cut the flesh into strips

Dice the tomatoes and cooked ham

Sauté the bacon over medium heat in a baking dish with half of the olive oil, then add the onion, garlic, peppers, and ham, and briefly brown them; finally, lower the heat to a minimum and let everything cook for 8-10 minutes

Evenly brown the chicken pieces in a pan with the remaining oil, then place them in the baking dish and cover them with rice
