Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the chicken –

Add the chicken, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 3–5 minutes until golden.

Add the spices, rice and cream –

Stir through the sweet paprika, onion powder and oregano, followed immediately by the arborio rice, chicken stock and cream.

Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat to low so that it is just simmering. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
