Garlic-Herb Pan Seared Chicken Thighs with Turmeric Rice
Savor the aromatic blend of garlic and fresh herbs on tender, pan-seared chicken thighs, masterfully paired with vibrant turmeric rice. This dish offers a delightful balance of hearty protein and comforting grains, ideal for a nutritious dinner with a burst of Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
INGREDIENTS
1 boneless, skinless chicken thigh (6 oz / 170g)
1/2 cup cooked white rice (100g)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing the chicken thigh and patting it dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken thigh, ensuring all surfaces are coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the turmeric rice. In a small pot, mix the pre-cooked white rice with turmeric powder. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken thigh skin-side down and sear for approximately 5-6 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Plate the turmeric rice and top with the beautifully seared chicken. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
