How to cook deliciously - Shadi's One-Pot Turmeric Chicken and Rice

1. Stage

Put the water, chicken breasts, onion, garlic, turmeric, salt, and pepper in a 4-quart pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from pot and set aside.

2. Stage

Rinse rice in a sieve under running water a few times to get rid of excess starch.

3. Stage

Add rice and carrot to the broth in the pot. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low; and simmer, covered, until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

4. Stage

Meanwhile, shred chicken using two forks.

5. Stage

Once rice is cooked, fluff it using a fork. Gently mix in shredded chicken and drizzle with lemon juice. Taste and add more salt as needed. Sprinkle with parsley.
