Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add chicken and coat thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side on the grill, or 30 minutes in the oven, brushing with reserved marinade halfway through.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a large pot, melt butter, then sauté onion and minced garlic until softened. Add rinsed rice, turmeric, and seasonings, stir to coat, then add chicken stock and bring to boil.
- Cover and reduce heat to low, simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Stir in frozen peas, cover again, and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Blend cilantro, mayonnaise, sour cream, jalapeños, and lime juice in a food processor until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve by fluffing rice, plating it, and arranging grilled chicken on top. Drizzle green sauce generously over the dish.

Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for maximum flavor. Use a meat thermometer to prevent overcooking and enjoy fluffy rice by rinsing thoroughly.
