Heat the olive oil in a fireproof pot (about 3 liters) with a lid. Add finely chopped onion and bacon and sauté for 7-8 minutes until soft and golden.

Push the bacon and onion to one side and add the diced chicken fillet. Sauté until golden brown for 3-4 minutes. Add the rice and mix everything well.

Pour in the broth and add the chopped tomatoes and thinly sliced mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
