Chicken

Yellow Spanish Rice

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the organic chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest.

Cook the Yellow Spanish Rice

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Add the long grain rice and saffron threads to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Prepare the Vegetables

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced poblano peppers, diced onion, and asparagus. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 7

    Combine with Bacon

    Add the crispy bacon back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and mix well.

Make the Salsa Verde

  1. 8

    Blend the Salsa Verde

    In a blender, combine roasted hatch chiles, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 9

    Plate the Chicken and Rice

    On a plate, serve a portion of yellow Spanish rice, topped with grilled organic chicken breast. Arrange the sautéed vegetables around the chicken.

  2. 10

    Add Avocado-Lime Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix the mashed avocado with lime juice and serve a dollop on the side.

  3. 11

    Drizzle with Salsa Verde

    Finish by drizzling the hatch chile salsa verde over the chicken and vegetables.
