Rinse the long grain rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the tomato puree, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, and half of the chopped onion. Blend until smooth.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, then add the blended tomato mixture. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the oil begins to separate.
Add the thyme, curry powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot, stirring to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the rice is cooking, grill the chicken breasts until fully cooked and nicely charred on the outside.
Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork. Serve the Jollof rice hot, topped with the grilled chicken breasts.
