📝 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. 1Season 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. 2In 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. 3Return the seared chicken pieces to the pan. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
4. 4Reduce 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. 5Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
