Directions
-
Mix chicken seasoning ingredients together.
-
Coat chicken with a small amount of oil and cover with seasoning.
-
Place in refrigerator to marinate for a few hours and grill whole or chopped and skewered with onions when ready.
-
For the yogurt sauce, combine all ingredients and blend or mix. Allow to rest in refrigerator at least one hour before serving.
-
For the rice, melt the butter over medium heat in a large Dutch oven. Add the turmeric and cumin and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.
-
Add the rice and stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly toasted, about 4 minutes.
-
Add the chicken broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
-
Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes without disturbing.
-
Remove from the heat and allow to rest until the water is completely absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Serve rice and optional chicken with yogurt sauce over shredded iceberg lettuce. Top with sriracha if desired.
