Turmeric Rice with Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken (boneless)
• 1 cup Rice (basmati)
• 1 small Onion (chopped)
• 3 small Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tsp Curry powder
• 1 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1/2 cup Green peas (frozen)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (cooking)
• 1/4 cup Herbs (fresh cilantro or parsley)
• 1 1/2 cups Chicken stock
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Stir in the rice, peas, cilantro, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. 3

   Return the seared chicken pieces to the pan. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.

5. 5

   Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
