Recipe Tips

To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for chicken to be fully cooked. If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice mixture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of chicken broth to keep the rice moist.
