1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
salt to taste
½ teaspoon pepper
1 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 onion, chopped
2 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tomatoes - peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
salt to taste
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 lime, juiced
2 bay leaves
1 cup chicken stock
1 ½ cups water

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss chicken in marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook chicken and set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook garlic and onion until translucent. Stir in jalapeno, chopped tomatoes, salt, and turmeric; cook for 2 minutes to soften tomato. Stir in the rice, mixing thoroughly.

Remove from heat, discard the bay leaves; stir in the remaining lime juice and cilantro.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more spices or herbs in the marinade.
