Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 lemon
- Chopped cilantro or parsley, for garnish
Spanish Seasoning Mix:
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander (or substitute with cumin)
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the Spanish seasoning mix. Divide in half and set aside.
- Cut the lemon in half; thinly slice one half for garnish and reserve the other half for juicing.
- Place chicken in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and toss to coat. Use half of the seasoning mix to rub on both sides of each piece of chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a plate (it won't be cooked through at this point).
- Add rice, chicken broth, juice from half the lemon, and the remaining seasoning mix to the skillet; stir to combine. Return chicken to the pan on top of the rice.
- Cover and cook for 20–25 minutes until liquid is absorbed, rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with lemon slices and freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.lecremedelacrumb.com+2lecremedelacrumb.com+2lecremedelacrumb.com+2
