Savory Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Chicken & Rice Delight
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Jasmine or basmati rice
- 2 cups Low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1/2 lemon Juice of
- 1 cup Optional: Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, stirring them until they lightly brown and develop a golden color on the edges, about 5 minutes.
- Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger together. Stir until they soften and emit a warm, inviting aroma, which usually takes about 3 minutes.
- Season the mixture by adding turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well, allowing the chicken to coat evenly with the vibrant spices.
- Incorporate the rinsed rice into the pan. Gently stir it in until the rice is mixed thoroughly with the seasoned chicken.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Simmer by lowering the heat and covering the pan. Let it cook for about 15 minutes until the rice is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the fresh spinach after lifting the lid. It wilts quickly from the heat.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and rice mixture, tasting for additional salt and pepper adjustments.
- Serve the turmeric chicken and rice in bowls. Top with optional Greek yogurt if desired.
