Instructions

Step 1/4

Marinate Chicken and Cook Rice

In a bowl, combine thinly sliced chicken breast with lemon juice, low-fat plain yogurt, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. While the chicken is marinating, cook long-grain white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and set aside.

Step 2/4

Cook Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken slices to the skillet and cook until they are cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 3/4

Season and Heat Rice

In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the spices. Stir well to coat the rice with the spices. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 4/4

Assemble and Serve

To assemble, divide the seasoned rice and cooked chicken between serving plates. Top with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced cucumber. Drizzle low-fat yogurt over the top and add hot sauce if desired. Serve hot with pita bread or tortilla on the side if desired.
