Rinse the basmati rice and combine with 0.5 cup water in a small pot; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
In a bowl, toss the diced chicken breast with Greek yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat; add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
