- 1/2 Tablespoons Turmeric
- 1 clove Minced Garlic
- 3 whole Green Onions, Sliced
- 6 ounces, weight Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 clove Minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- 2 teaspoons Yellow Curry Powder

- 1 whole Avocado, Peeled, Pitted, And Cubed
- 1/2 whole Small Cucumber, Diced

- For the chicken: Put the chicken into a bowl or dish.
- Cover the chicken in the coconut milk, put it into the refrigerator and let it soak for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F and set a baking rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Spray the rack with cooking spray.
- Put the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Remove the chicken from the coconut milk and dredge it on both sides in the panko, pressing with your fingers to form a crust.
- Arrange the chicken tenders on the baking rack and spray the chicken with cooking spray.
- Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the chicken is golden on both sides and cooked through.
- For the rice: Put the rice, turmeric and garlic into a saucepan, add water (or broth) into the pan according to the amount specified on the package directions.
- Cook according to package directions.
- Remove from heat when done.
- Right before serving, stir the green onions into the rice.
- For the curry drizzle: Combine all of the drizzle ingredients in a bowl and taste: adjust seasonings to your preference.
- For the relish: Combine all of the relish ingredients in a bowl right before serving.
- To assemble, make a bed of the turmeric rice on each plate and top with some chicken.
- Drizzle the chicken with the curry sauce and serve with the relish on the side and extra lime wedges, if desired.
- Notes: The chicken can marinate overnight, but when I make this meal I like to use the following timeline once the chicken is done marinating: Start rice, make curry sauce while rice works.
- Get chicken in the oven, assemble relish while chicken and rice are finishing.
- All will be done right around the same time.
- Enjoy!
