Ingredients
- 1 3/10 lb chicken breast
- 7 1/10 oz basmati rice
- 1 onion
- 1 red pepper
- 5 3/10 oz 0% fat Greek yoghurt
- 3 1/2 oz peas
- 0.42 cup light coconut milk
- 1 3/10 cup boiling water or chicken stock
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- coriander, to taste
- lemon, to taste
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (350°F).
- 2In a large oven‑safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the sliced onion until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- 3Add the diced red pepper and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
- 4Stir in the diced chicken breast and cook until lightly browned, roughly 5 minutes.
- 5Mix in the garam masala, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, and optional chilli powder; toast the spices for 1 minute to release their aroma.
- 6Add the uncooked basmati rice, frozen peas, Greek yogurt, and light coconut milk; stir to combine evenly.
- 7Pour in the boiling water or chicken stock, season with salt and pepper, and give the mixture a final stir.
- 8Cover the pot with a tight‑fitting lid or foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- 9Remove from the oven, let it rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.
- 10Finish by sprinkling chopped coriander and squeezing fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
