Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Spices

    Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 7

    Combine Rice and Broth

    Add the rinsed rice to the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

  5. 8

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  6. 9

    Add Peas

    Stir in the frozen peas and cover the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  7. 10

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and stir in freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
