Method
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the uncooked rice to the skillet. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes to lightly toast the grains in the residual oils and chicken juices.
- Pour in the chicken broth and dried oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Fold the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach into the rice. Cover the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes; the residual heat will wilt the spinach and soften the tomatoes.
- Stir in the lemon juice and half of the feta cheese. Top with remaining feta and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Storage: Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of water. Substitute brown rice if preferred (increase broth to 2.5 cups and simmer for 40 mins). Pair with roasted zucchini or olives.
