Slice the chicken breasts into thinner fillets and season both sides evenly with the spices, lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside and thinly slice the onions and bell peppers.
Make the green sauce by blending all of its ingredients until smooth. Adjust the taste to your liking.
Cook the chicken in a pan over medium heat with a little cooking spray for 3 to 4 minutes on each side to get a nice crust.
Set the chicken aside. In the same pan cook the sliced onions and bell peppers for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the washed rice and the spices and toast for 2 minutes.
Add the water and bring to a light bubble. Cover the pan and simmer on low heat for 8 to 10 minutes until the rice is cooked and fluffy.
Slice the chicken into thin strips and serve on top of the rice with the green sauce.
