In a small pot, combine @jasmine rice{1%cup}, @water{1¼%cups}, and a pinch of @salt{to%taste}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender ~{15%minutes}.

While rice cooks, wash and dry all produce. Pat @chicken cutlets{2%pieces} dry with paper towels. Season all over with half the @savory paprika blend{1%tbsp}, half the @dried thyme{1%tsp}, @salt{to%taste}, and @black pepper{to%taste}.

In a #large pan{}, heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp} over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden ~{2%minutes} per side. Transfer to a plate.

In the same pan, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add @onion{1}(diced), salt, and pepper; cook, stirring, until translucent ~{2%minutes}. Stir in @garlic{2%cloves}(minced), remaining paprika blend, remaining thyme, @tomato paste{2%tbsp}, @veggie stock concentrate{1%unit}, @sherry vinegar{1%tbsp}, and @green olives{3%tbsp}(sliced). Simmer until sauce thickens slightly ~{2%minutes}.

Add chicken to pan with sauce. Add @golden raisins{3%tbsp}; simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through ~{3%minutes}.

Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice and chicken mixture between plates. Stir @butter{2%tbsp} into the pan until melted and spoon over chicken. Garnish with @parsley{½%cup}(chopped) and serve immediately.
