Preparation of Grilled Chicken

Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown rice and 1 tsp of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for about 10 minutes.
