Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in herbs and season with salt. Keep warm. Prepare the Chicken: Pat chicken dry and season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, pour in chicken broth to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Add cream, Parmesan, and Dijon (if using). Stir and simmer until sauce thickens slightly (4–5 minutes). Return chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce for 2–3 minutes. Serve hot over herbed rice. Garnish with more parsley and extra sauce on top.
