Preparation
Step 1 : In a large bowl, season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano, letting it rest for ten minutes.
Step 2 : In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken, browning both sides for 3-4 minutes each.

Step 4 : After this time, add the rice and let it absorb the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes before adding the broth.
Step 5 : Combine the rice with the broth and let it come to a gentle boil for 5-7 minutes.
Step 6 : When the rice grains are visible on the surface, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and cook for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 7 : After 20 minutes, check the rice consistency and, if necessary, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until soft and the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 8 : Once ready, remove from heat, let it rest for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork before serving immediately.
