directions
Step 1
Heat a large pan with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and paprika. Brown skin side down first. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Do not cook the chicken all the way, the purpose is just to give it a nice brown color.
Step 2
In a large casserole dish, place the uncooked white rice in the bottom and place the browned chicken on top. Simply pour the can of roasted tomatoes on top of the chicken and rice. Then, pour the jar of olives, including the olive juice in with the chicken, rice and tomatoes. DO NOT ADD SALT because the olives are already salty there is no need to add more. Then, add the chicken stock.
Step 3
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes covered or until the rice is fully cooked and serve. Then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes and serve.
