Cuban-style Chicken with Rice and Fries

Ingredients

• 2 medium chicken breast
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups frozen french fries
• 2 cups chicken broth
• ½ medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Set aside to rest.

2. 2

   While the chicken cooks, bake the 2 cups frozen fries according to package directions until crispy and golden, about 20-25 minutes at 425°F.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the 1/2 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in the 1 cup rice and 1/2 tsp turmeric, toasting for 1 minute until the rice is coated and slightly translucent.

5. 5

   Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15-18 minutes.

6. 6

   Slice the rested chicken and serve over the yellow rice with the crispy fries and a side of lettuce and tomato slices.
