Soak the rice in warm salted water for 15 minutes, then rinse until the water runs clear.
Dice the onions small and cut the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
Saute the onion in butter for 6 minutes, until softened.
Add the tomato paste and red paprika powder, and stir for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, until its color changes.
Add the hot water, salt, and black pepper, and boil for 10 minutes.
Spread the rice in an oven tray and pour the chicken mixture with its liquid over it.
Bake in a 190°C oven for 25 minutes, until the rice absorbs the liquid.
Rest the tray for 10 minutes and serve with parsley.
💡 Tip: Adding the chicken broth to the tray hot helps the rice cook evenly in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with cacik, seasonal salad, and roasted tomatoes.
