  1. Season chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened (about 3–4 minutes).
  4. Pour in chicken stock, then add heavy cream, peri-peri sauce, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and let simmer until thickened (5–7 minutes).
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through (5–10 minutes), ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
  6. Serve over cooked white rice, garnishing with fresh parsley.
