6 boneless skinless chicken thighs or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine 3 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Returning to the same skillet, add 1 cup uncooked white rice, remaining seasonings, 2 ¼ cups chicken broth, and the juice of 1 limethen stir to combine. Return the chicken to the pan on top of the rice. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes until the liquid is dissolved.
