Loaded with seasonings and topped with little Kalamata olive flavor bombs, this recipe will change how you see beans and rice.
Heat the oil in a large skillet to medium heat, then add onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Then add in garlic, paprika, sea salt, chili powder, oregano, and pepper.
Stir in long grain white rice and keep stirring until the rice is slightly translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, canned kidney beans, and chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cover, then let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the moisture is absorbed and the rice is tender and fluffy.
Top with sliced kalamata olives, serve, and enjoy!
