Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil.
- Return the browned chicken breasts to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
