Steps:
- Set the oven temp to 400 degrees. Begin heating canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet and seasoning your chicken with saźon. Pan sear skin side down for 4-6 minutes to crisp the skin. Turn and allow the chicken to cook another 3-5 minutes to sear the bottom. Remove and rest the partially cooked chicken in a shallow dish.
- Turn off the heat and add to the pan, the rice, turmeric, salt, and sofrito. Stir well, scraping the flavors from the chicken.
- Next, stir in the water then carefully place the chicken with the juices from the resting plate to the pan onto the rice. Do not submerge the meat in the liquid.
- Loosely tent the skillet with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes as needed to ensure the liquid is absorbed and the chicken crisps. Fluff the rice before serving.

CHEESY SKILLET CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER RICE
This cheesy chicken and cauliflower rice skillet bake is a healthier (and gluten free!) version of the classic casserole, jam-packed with vegetables while still boasting the flavors you know and love. The usual condensed soup is swapped out for low-fat Greek yogurt, and riced cauliflower subs in for the typical grain. The whole thing is topped off with reduced-fat sharp Cheddar for a rich, melty finish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Whisk the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, half of the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Pressing down on each breast firmly with your hand, cut it in half horizontally like a bagel, so you have 4 equal pieces. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Let the marinade drip off the chicken, then add the chicken to the skillet. Cook, untouched, until golden brown on the bottom and no longer sticking to the skillet, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until it releases easily from the skillet, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until softened and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Gently fold in the Parmesan, riced cauliflower, beans, broccoli, 1/2 cup of the Cheddar, remaining 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer the chicken and any juices back to the skillet and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over the top. Bake until the cheese has melted, the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are warm, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
