75 g Keya Foods Herby Italian Spice Mix
100 ml Oleev Olivana Natural Olive Oil (Bottle)
100 g Garlic - Single Clove
20 g Turmeric Powder

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. Heat a saucepan with 300 ml of water, and add the rinsed rice along with 0.5 tsp salt. Simmer until tender and cooked through.
3. While the rice cooks, finely mince the garlic and turmeric to create a flavorful aromatic base.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian spice mix, minced garlic, turmeric, lemon juice, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is coated evenly.
5. Heat a skillet over medium heat, and add the marinated chicken. Cook each side for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
6. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 2 minutes to seal in the juices.
7. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and transfer it to serving plates.
8. Slice the chicken into strips and arrange it neatly over the rice for an appealing presentation.
9. Drizzle any remaining pan juices from the skillet over the chicken and rice for extra flavor.
10. Serve immediately while warm, garnished with an optional sprinkle of fresh Italian herbs if desired.
