- Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice to the mixture, slicing the chicken into pieces and incorporating it back. Let it all simmer together for another 5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
