Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and season with cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Rice and Broth

    Stir in the rice and mix well with the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Shrimp and Vegetables

    After 15 minutes, add the shrimp and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir gently to combine, cover, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
