Paprika Chicken & Rice

Here is my new favorite. Paprika Chicken & Rice. Chicken is seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika, seared until golden, then cooked with a creamy mixture of garlic, peppers, paprika, rice, chicken broth and heavy cream until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through. Coming out delicious and flavorful, this rice chicken is great for dinner. My family just fall for it.
