A quick and flavorful one-pan dish combining tender chicken, rice, and zesty lime with bold spices.

6 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, pounded to even thickness)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 piece lime (juice for cooking and wedges for serving)
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 ¼ cups chicken broth

Mix chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Season chicken with half of this mixture.
Heat oil in a skillet, cook chicken 5-8 minutes per side until browned, then remove.
Add rice, remaining seasonings, broth, and lime juice to the skillet. Return chicken on top, cover, and simmer 20-25 minutes.
Fluff rice, garnish with cilantro, squeeze lime wedges, and serve.

Adjust spice levels to taste and serve with extra lime wedges for added flavor.
