Mix black pepper, paprika, mixed herbs, and salt in a bowl for seasoning.

Season 6 chicken thighs with the mixed seasoning, saving 1-2 teaspoons for later.

Heat cooking oil in a pot and brown the chicken thighs on both sides for about 2-3 minutes each.

Remove the chicken from the pot; it should be partially cooked.

Add washed rice to the pot and stir in the oil for about 2 minutes.

Add diced bell pepper, onion, parsley, tomato paste, and diced garlic to the rice.

Sprinkle the reserved seasoning over the mixture and stir it in.

Pour in 3-4 cups of low sodium broth and place the browned chicken on top of the rice.

Cover the pot and let it cook until the rice is tender, about 30-40 minutes depending on the rice type.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
