Marinated Chicken

Rice

Method

Marinated Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.

Rice

  1. 4

    Cook Rice

    Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare Salad

    In a large bowl, combine diced cucumber, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
