Turmeric lends flavor and a pretty golden color to this Spanish-style entree from our Test Kitchen. Haven’t tried Arborio rice? You’ll love its creamy texture.
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1/2 pound), cut into chunks
1/2 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup julienned sweet red pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1/2 cup uncooked arborio rice
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chicken broth
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute the chicken, ham, onion and red pepper in 2 teaspoons oil until chicken is browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon.
2. In the same skillet, saute rice in remaining oil until lightly browned. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, garlic and salt. Return meat and vegetables to pan; toss lightly. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in peas. Yield: 2 servings.
