Main Instructions

• First marinade the chicken. Add the lemon juice, turmeric, cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper to a large bowl and stir. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for one hour to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove chicken from fridge when ready to cook. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over the stove top. Add the chicken, the meaty side down. Cook for about 5 minutes until browned and flip over cooking the other side for a further 5 minutes or so. Reduce heat to low, add the ¼ cup of chicken stock, cover and leave to cook for a further 10 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and transfer to a plate.
• In the reserved pan, add the remaining olive oil, garlic and onion. Stir for a minute and add the turmeric and coriander. Stir well. Leave to cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir well until the rice is completely coated, about 2 - 3 minutes. Evenly pour over all the stock and give a quick stir.
• Arrange the chicken over the dish, cover and put in the oven for further 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Remove from oven and leave a few minutes before serving.
• Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
• I recommend serving this dish with lime wedges, Greek yogurt and fresh coriander.
