Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of yellow rice like Vigo
  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts skinless
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
 

Step 1: Sizzle and Sear

  • Start by seasoning your chicken thighs or breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat, then add the chicken. Sear both sides until golden, which should take about 5 minutes per side. Once done, set the chicken aside.

Step 2: Aromatics Magic

  • In the same pan, add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook them until they become soft and translucent, which takes about 3 minutes.

Step 3: Spice It Up

  • Introduce turmeric and cumin to the pan, stirring them into the sautéed vegetables.

Step 4: Perfect the Rice

  • Next, stir in the rice, ensuring it gets a good coating of the spices and oil. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mix to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: The Grand Finale

  • Nestle the seared chicken back into the pan, cover it with a lid, and let it all cook together for about 20-25 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through, and the rice tender and fluffy. Garnish with fresh parsley to complete your chicken and yellow rice recipe.
