Title: Seasoned Chicken And Rice

Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 2 cups chicken broth
– Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.

2. In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.

3. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the rice and toast it for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Place the cooked chicken breasts on top of the rice.

5. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken and rice simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the chicken is tender.

6. Once done, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

7. Garnish the Seasoned Chicken and Rice with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of freshness before serving.

Enjoy this comforting and flavorful meal hot, straight from the pan. The tender chicken, seasoned to perfection, pairs beautifully with the fluffy rice, creating a dish that’s both satisfying and delicious.
