Andalousia, a region of southern Spain, is world renowned for its olives and northern Spain gives us fine sherries. Together these ingredients impart subtle yet full flavor to this chicken dish.

| 3/4 | cup sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives |
| 1‑1/2 | teaspoons dried sage |
| 1‑1/2 | cups uncooked long-grain white rice |

- Sprinkle chicken thighs with paprika. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Brown chicken 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden.
