Skillet Chicken and Rice

 

Mix about a tablespoon of smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder and some salt and pepper together.

Had a mix of chicken thighs, drumsticks and breast. Rubbed them with oil and sprinkled the seasoning on them.

Heat a skillet over medium high and add some oil. Put the chicken skin side down for a few minutes to get a golden crust. Same for the other side then take out and set aside.

Add one onion (slices) to the skillet until soft, mixing any stuck chicken flavorings with them.

Add a couple tablespoons of minced garlic and mix with onions. Stir in two cups long grain rice and mix for a minute.

Add a couple cups chicken broth, couple tablespoons lime juice, some cut up mushrooms and a few diced chipotles, (if using from a can, add some of the sauce). If any seasoning left, sprinkle on top.

Add the chicken.

Bring to a boil then cover and simmer (add more broth if needed) about twenty-five minutes or chicken is done and rice is soft. Chicken should be around 170 degrees.
