Cook the Chicken
In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, season the chicken breast with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

Cook the Rice
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
