- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 12 ounces chicken breasts, diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms

- 1¼ cups long grain white rice
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth

Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
Season the diced chicken with garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
Combine the butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet and set over medium-high heat; melt the butter. Add the onions to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Stir in the mushrooms; season with salt and pepper, stir, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Add rice and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and increase the heat to high; bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from heat.
Cover the skillet with a lid and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to bake for 3 to 4 more minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the chicken and rice from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Fluff and serve.
