Easy Chicken & Rice

4 chicken breasts
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 package Rice-A-Roni chicken flavor
2 tbsp. margarine or butter
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup frozen or canned peas
1/2 cup chopped red or green bell pepper

Sprinkle chicken withp aprika; set aside. Saute rice and vermicelli mix in margarine until golden brown. Add water, chicken and seasoning packet. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat to medium/low. Simmer 15 minutes. Stir in peas and bell pepper. Cover; simmer 5 minutes more or until liquid is absorbed and chicken is no longer pink inside. Let stand 5 minutes.

**I left out the paprika and bell pepper and used chicken thighs because Joy likes dark meat. Quick and easy!
