Chicken and Yellow Rice with Garlic Sauce

We were inspired by the delicious plates of chicken and rice found at Halal carts for this fragrant and flavorful chicken and rice dish which will easily become your family’s new favorite recipe. Cooking rice has never been easier, thanks to the Suvie Starch Cooker. For this recipe, simply place the basmati rice, turmeric, cumin, bouillon, and butter all together in one pot, and program it – it’s that easy! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are cut into bite-sized pieces, seasoned, and butter-roasted until tender. A garlicky white sauce, lightly spiked with fresh lemon juice, is drizzled over the finished dish. Super tasty!
