Steps:
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add the oil. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper and garlic powder on both sides.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides until golden. Don't worry about cooking the chicken through at this stage - just focus on getting that crispy brown crust on the outside.
- Remove the chicken to a plate once it's browned and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, and turn the heat to medium.
- Saute the onions and garlic until the onions begin to soften. Add the turmeric and rice and stir everything together well, letting the rice toast just a little bit.
- Add the chicken stock and stir well to combine. Turn off the heat under the skillet.
- Nestle the chicken pieces into the liquid-y rice mixture in the pan, making sure the tops of the chicken pieces are sticking out of the liquid just a little bit.
- Place the skillet in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken pieces are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 Fahrenheit (75 Celsius) and the rice is cooked.
- Serve with a sprinkling of freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for freshness, and serve with a side salad or some veggies.

SMOKY PAPRIKA CHICKEN OVER RICE
Adopted this recipe because I am loving my new smoky paprika...the original description was the following...A sweet friend in the Canary Islands sent me some wonderful smoky paprika -- and this week, our paper published this great recipe from "Desperation Dinners" with a recommendation to try the smoky version of one of the most overlooked spices. One taste and you'll never see paprika as "just a garnish" again.

Tips:
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground turmeric and paprika have a more intense flavor than pre-ground spices. If you can, buy whole spices and grind them yourself just before using them.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan or the chicken will steam instead of brown. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the chicken from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned pan, you can season it by heating it over medium heat and then rubbing it with a little oil. Let the pan cool completely before storing it.
- Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving so that the juices can redistribute. This will help the chicken stay moist and tender.
Conclusion:
This chicken with turmeric and paprika over rice is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the rice is fluffy and flavorful. The turmeric and paprika give the dish a warm and inviting flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
