Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 30-40 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Medium-sized pot with lid
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Fork

Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl and coat them with the spice mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. While the grill is heating up, rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear.
  5. Place the rice and water in a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
  7. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  8. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  9. Fluff the rice with a fork and spoon it onto plates.
  10. Place the sliced chicken on top of the rice and serve immediately.

Notes

If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stove or in the oven. The cooking time may vary depending on the method you choose.
