Ingredients




2 tablespoons of Butter
3 cloves of Garlic
3 Chicken Breasts, Cubed
2 teaspoons of Cumin
2 teaspoons of Coriander
5 1/2 teaspoons of Turmeric
1 Onion, Chopped
1 Pepper, Chopped
1 can of Diced Chiles
1 can of Diced Tomatoes
4 cups of Chicken Broth
1 cup of Dried Rice
1 teaspoon of Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
1/2 teaspoon of Onion Powder
1/2 cup of Shredded Cheese

Preparation

1 Start out by heating up a large pan on medium heat and melting your butter. Add in your garlic and give it a minute or two to cook up. 2 Sprinkle your chicken with about 1 tsp of the cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Throw it in the pan and cook it up. 3 Once your chicken is fully cooked, go ahead and add in your diced onion and pepper. 4 Cook it all up for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add in your chiles and tomatoes. 5 Swirl it around once or twice and add in your broth. Now add in your rice. 6 Finally, add in the remaining tsp of chili powder, cumin, and coriander, the salt, the remaining 1/2 tsp of turmeric and the onion powder. 7 Bring the pot to a boil and then turn down the heat to low and cover. Simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. 8 Grab your shredded cheese and spread it across the top of the chicken mixture. Cover for another minute or two and allow your cheese to melt completely.
