Ingredients
2
pounds
chicken
breasts or thighs
1
cup
yogurt
Greek or regular
5
cloves
garlic
minced
2
teaspoon
each of cumin
coriander, paprika, turmeric
2
cups
of rice
Instructions
Combine yogurt, garlic, and spices in a bowl. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours.
While the chicken is marinating, cook the rice according to the package instructions.
Cook the chicken using your preferred method until fully cooked.
Rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the chicken over rice with your choice of toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best results. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
You can grill, bake, or pan-fry your marinated chicken. Each method will deliver a slightly different flavor profile and texture.
Make sure to rest your cooked chicken for a few minutes before slicing. This helps to retain the juices within the meat, making it tender and juicy.
If you prefer a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to your spice mix.
Don't overcook your rice. You want it fluffy and light, not mushy.
