Chicken Marinade

  • 2 cups Riceland Jasmine Rice
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 7-ounce container plain greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp. garam masala

  • Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1".

  • Heat nonstick pan over high heat, no oil needed. Add 1/2 of chicken cubes to pan and spread out.
  • Cook until golden brown while stirring and flipping chicken to sear all sides. As they finish searing, transfer to large plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Reduce to medium heat and add all sauce ingredients in pan. Add seared chicken to pan and submerge in sauce. Bring sauce to simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and decreasing heat as needed to maintain light simmer.
