ONE POT TURMERIC CHICKEN AND RICE

Step 1

Heat a 12” heavy bottomed high-sided pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil and chicken and cook until beginning to brown 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 2

Add onions and carrots and cook until soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add fresh turmeric, garlic and all spices and toast for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add chicken stock and scrap up any browned bits. Add rice, cauliflower and the chicken and stir to combine. Make sure the mixture is spread evenly in the pan and the veggies and chicken are pushed into the liquid as much as possible.

Step 5

Let mixture come up to a boil, then cover with a tight fitting lid, and lower the heat to medium-low.

Step 6

Cook for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Shut off heat, quickly remove the cover and sprinkle ½ cup peas over the top. Close the lid and let steam for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Fluff with a fork garnish with cilantro and a sprinkle of lemon juice
