Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Coat your chicken thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak for 10–15 minutes, then drain. In a medium saucepan, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat, and sauté diced onion and minced garlic until softened.
- Add the drained rice, turmeric, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper, stirring for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover for 15 minutes.
- After cooking, stir in the frozen peas, cover again, and let it rest for another 5 minutes off the heat.
- Preheat grill or oven. Cook marinated chicken on the grill for 5–7 minutes per side, or bake for about 30 minutes. Brush with reserved marinade halfway through.
- In a blender, combine cilantro, mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon or lime juice. Blend until smooth, season with salt and pepper as desired.
- On a large plate, mound a serving of yellow rice, place a piece of chicken on top, and drizzle generously with the green sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
