Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
salt to taste
½ teaspoon pepper
1 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 onion, chopped
2 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tomatoes - peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
salt to taste
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 lime, juiced
2 bay leaves
1 cup chicken stock
1 ½ cups water
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss chicken in marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook chicken and set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook garlic and onion until translucent. Stir in jalapeno, chopped tomatoes, salt, and turmeric; cook for 2 minutes to soften tomato. Stir in the rice, mixing thoroughly. Stir in half of the lime juice, bay leaves, chicken stock, water, and cooked chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, then cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice has cooked. Remove from heat, discard the bay leaves; stir in the remaining lime juice and cilantro.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was good. I would try this recipe again with a different cooking method for the chicken.

I was a bit hesitant to try this dish because I'm not a big fan of lime, but I'm so glad I did! The lime flavor is subtle and really complements the chicken and rice. I'll definitely be making this again.
