Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in rice, then pour in chicken broth. Add salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
Return chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Use brown rice for a whole grain option; increase cooking time and liquid slightly.
Add peas or spinach at the end for extra vegetables.
This dish can be made ahead and reheats well.
