Method

Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in this marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let it rest.

Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, chop the zucchini, yellow squash, purple onion, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet used for the chicken, add olive oil and heat over medium-high. Add the chopped vegetables, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Turmeric Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine basmati rice, turmeric powder, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, serve a generous scoop of turmeric rice, top with the sautéed vegetables, and finally, place the sliced chicken breast on top. Enjoy your delicious chicken plate!
