  18. ### Step-by-Step Instructions
  19. #### Step 1: Prepare the Rice
  20. 1. Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
  21. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  22. 3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  23. #### Step 2: Cook the Chicken
  24. 1. While the rice simmers, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  25. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  26. 3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
  27. #### Step 3: Prepare the Rice Pilaf
  28. 1. In another pan, melt the butter and sauté the diced onions and minced garlic for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
  29. 2. Add the yellow rice to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to coat the rice in the butter mixture.
  30. 3. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the rice is slightly toasted.
  31. 4. Stir in the paprika, cumin, and black pepper for flavor.
  32. #### Step 4: Combine Chicken and Rice
  33. 1. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside to rest while you finish cooking the rice.
  34. 2. Pour in the chicken broth into the skillet with the rice and vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 7-8 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
