How to cook it
-
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika, then dredge in 1/2 cup of the flour, shaking off the excess.
-
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides, about 4 minutes per side, then remove.
-
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 4 minutes, then whisk in the remaining flour and cook 1 minute.
-
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth, then return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer over low heat until the chicken is very tender, about 35 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package directions.
-
Season the gravy with salt and pepper and serve the chicken and gravy spooned over the rice.
