A fantastic one-pot meal, chicken and rice is the essence of Spanish comfort food. Tender rice and chicken are flavored with sauteed onion and garlic, then married in flavor with tart cherry tomatoes, smoky paprika and cumin. The final addition of briny olives rounds out the dish. Perfect for a warming family dinner, this dish is on the table in under and hour and cooks in one-pot, making clean-up a snap. Sweet smoked paprika is the more tame variety but hot smoked paprika will add a nice kick to your dish.
