Instructions
1
Mist a large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray and place over a medium-high heat. Rub the paprika into the chicken breasts and season well. Cook in the hot pan for 3 minutes, until golden on one side, then flip over and cook for a further 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover, and set aside.

Add the onions and pepper to the pan, season, and cover. Cook for 7 minutes, until slightly softened, then stir in the cayenne and cook for 2 minutes more.

Pour the stock into the pan, add the rice and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and reduce to a simmer, then add the chicken. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Scatter over the parsley to serve.
