Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince garlic. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the minced garlic and half the turmeric (all the turmeric for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Add rice, stock concentrate, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, mince parsley. Roughly chop pistachios. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings). • In a small bowl, combine parsley, pistachios, garlic powder, 2½ TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp vinegar, salt, and pepper (5 TBSP olive oil and 2 tsp vinegar for 4). TIP: Add a little more vinegar if you prefer a tangier chimichurri.
Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and sliced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned and tender, 3-5 minutes. • In the last minute of cooking, stir in peas and remaining minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant and peas are warmed through.
Use pan used for chicken or turkey here. Once peas are warmed through, stir chicken or turkey into pan.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in raisins. • Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with veggies. Drizzle chimichurri over top. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The adults loved it, but the kids were turned off by the amount of turmeric and the sultanas in the rice and by the chimichurri. Still, a terrific meal, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the turkey and veggie mixture by itself. I call that a win!
Rice was surprisingly bland even though we used twice the turmeric. I was expecting it to taste similar to the paella recipe from a few years ago, but this had very little flavor. The pistachio texture didn't go well with the dish.
Really liked the crunch of the pistachios and the sweetness of the raisins. The onions were just a tad strong, but overall would get it again.
Really fantastic! I hope this recipe will be back as an option! It was so easy, quick to make and so delicious.
Asparagus should have been cooked separately as it can easily overcook
Need to include instructions to wash the rice. That's an extra step.
Needed more herbs and less vinegar in the sauce and just more sauce in general
