Well, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ easy and tasty to make for dinner, let me tell you ‘bout this here chicken yellow rice recipe. It’s simple, quick, and will fill your belly right up. Don’t need no fancy ingredients, just what you got in the kitchen already. I reckon it’s the perfect meal for any busy evening when you ain’t got much time but want somethin’ hearty to eat.
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup of rice (long grain works best)
- 1 onion, chopped up good
- 2 cloves garlic, minced real fine
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth (you can use water if you ain’t got broth)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric (that’s what gives it the yellow color)
- ½ teaspoon cumin (just a little for flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of oil or butter
Now, first thing you wanna do is heat up a pot or a big ol’ skillet. Throw in that oil or butter, let it melt down real good. Toss the chicken in there and cook ‘em up until they’re nice and golden brown. Don’t rush it, give ‘em time to get a good color.
Once the chicken’s done, take ‘em outta the pot and set ‘em aside. In the same pot, throw in your chopped onion and garlic. You gotta cook those ‘til they get soft and start smellin’ real good. You’ll know when it’s time. After that, put in your rice, and stir it around for a couple of minutes, just so the rice gets all coated in that oil and onion goodness.
Now, here comes the fun part – pour in the chicken broth and add that turmeric and cumin. Stir it all together, and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boilin’, turn down the heat to low, cover it up, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. You gotta wait ‘til the rice is all cooked through and fluffy.
When the rice is cooked, you can toss that chicken back into the pot and stir it all up together. Let it sit there for a few minutes so the flavors can all mix in nice and tight. Don’t forget to taste it and add a little salt and pepper if you think it needs it.
There you have it! Easy chicken yellow rice. It’s good on its own or you could throw in some veggies, like peas or carrots, if you got ‘em. Makes a good hearty meal that won’t keep ya slavin’ over the stove all night.
Tips for this recipe:
- If you want it spicier, throw in a little chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- If you like it extra creamy, add a bit of cream or milk when you put in the broth.
- This recipe works with any kinda chicken, even thighs if that’s what you got.
So, there you go. A simple and easy recipe that don’t take too long, but fills your belly good. Give it a try next time you’re wonderin’ what to cook for dinner. Ain’t no reason to be stuck in a dinner rut when you’ve got something like this in your back pocket.
