Calories 590kcal

Ingredients

  • 5 large skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 3/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking oil spray
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 cups Rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon each turmeric paprika & garlic
  • 1 head of red cabbage rough chop
  • 1/4 olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken into small 1" pieces.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add all the spices, mix well.
  • Next, and the olive oil and mix into the spices, mix well.
  • Add the chicken and rub the marinade fully. Place in the fridge overnight.
  • Line baking trays (I needed 3 trays) with tin foil. Place the chicken on the foil giving each piece room on the tray.
  • Place in a 325 degree oven for 10 – 12 minutes.
  • Heat your cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Add the canola oil and cook for a few minutes until it shimmers.
  • Add the chicken in batches. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes on each side until you get a nice char.
  • Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Add the rice spices to oil and left over flavors from the chicken. Mix well.
  • Add the rice to the skillet - it is cooked just as you would cook risotto.
  • Start adding 1 cup of water at a time. Once the rice has absorbed the water, add another cup. Cook until the rice is al dente.
  • For the slaw, simply take the oil, lemon juice and vinegar and combine. Dress the slaw before serving.
  • To assemble the dish, fill the bowl with the yellow rice.
  • Next, add a good handful of slaw.
  • Add the chicken and finish by topping with the garlic sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy.
