Lousianna dirty rice and beans

This turned out yammy. It was easy to prepare, just takes a bit of time in the oven.



2 tablespoon olive oil
3.5 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1.5 cup finely chopped red onion
2 cups okra sliced
2 cup uncooked long-grain brown rice
5 cups water
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
2 teaspoon salt
1.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced object
2 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Preheat oven to 350°. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bell pepper, red onion; cook 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in rice; cook 30 seconds. Add broth and remaining ingredients; bring to a simmer. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
