2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Then cook the chicken in a large saucepan for about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to use a saucepan that you can cover with a lid. Remove the chicken from the saucepan and set it aside.
3. Add 5 cups of water to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Then add 2 tablespoons of canola oil and 2 8 oz packages of Mexican Vigo rice, stirring while boiling until the rice has absorbed all of the water. Put the chicken back in the pot, then add the peas and carrots. Stir to combine. Cover the saucepan. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes.
