Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice + lime wedges, for serving
1 tbsp brown sugar
6 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 3/4 tsp salt, divided
3/4 tsp pepper, divided
2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp ground turmeric
2 cups Carolina® Jasmine Rice
4 cups sodium-reduced chicken broth
2 bay leaves
2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions

4. Melt butter in large saucepan set over medium heat. Cook remaining garlic and turmeric for 3 to 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in rice, and remaining salt and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until well coated. Stir in chicken broth and bay leaves; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with fork. Remove bay leaves.

 

5. Top rice with chicken, avocado slices, pickled red onions and sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
