NYC style Halal Chicken and Rice

Recipe from http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/12/serious-eats-halal-cart-style-chicken-and-rice-white-sauce-recipe.html



For the chicken:

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
• 1/4 cup light olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat (6 to 8 thighs)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil

For the rice:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 1/2 cups long-grain or Basmati rice
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

I made the recommended sauce and also made some tatziki. I cooked the chicken twice. After doing a rough chop add the extra chicken mixture and pan fry for a few minutes.

I also added cumin to the chicken marinade.

Super yummy!
