1. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cubed chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Cook the bacon if using.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper.
- Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

3. Cook the Rice:
- Stir in the rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the flavorful vegetable mixture.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
