1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
1 pound chicken thigh (skinless, boneless cut into 1-inch pieces)

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to pan. Mix paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper together by shaking in a zip-lock plastic bag.

Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Return pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining canola oil to pan. Add onion and mushrooms; sprinkle with salt and pepper, sauté for 5 minutes or until onion is lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken broth and rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 35 minutes. Stir in the chicken, peas, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is done. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
