Tips:
- Use a flavorful rice: Choose a rice that has a nutty or earthy flavor, such as basmati or jasmine rice. This will help to complement the bold flavors of the chicken and sauce.
- Cook the rice using the absorption method: This method of cooking rice results in fluffy, separate grains. To do this, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Spanish cuisine, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear.
- Use a variety of spices: Spanish cuisine is known for its use of spices, so don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations. Some common spices used in Spanish dishes include paprika, cumin, oregano, and thyme.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives, can add a bright, fresh flavor to the dish.

This Spanish chicken with yellow rice is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the rice is fluffy and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
