Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp onion powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the chicken breasts.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a pot and add the rinsed rice.
