    • 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) kosher salt freshly grnd pepper
    • 2 whl skinless and boneless chicken breasts, about 8 ounces (224 g) each, halved
    • 5 ounce (150 g) minced onion
    • 4 ounce (120 g) minced red bell pepper
    • 4 ounce (120 g) minced green bell pepper
    • 2 lrg cloves garlic, chopped
    • 1 lrg tomato, minced
    • 1 c. (250 g) Arborio rice
    • 1/8 tsp (0.6 ml) turmeric
    • 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml ) Hungarian paprika
    • 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) grnd cumin
    • 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) grnd coriander
    • 1 1/4 c. (300 ml) 99% fat free, no-salt-added canned chicken broth
    • 1/3 c. (80 ml) white wine
    • 1/2 c. (114 g) nonfat plain yogurt
    • 2 Tbsp. (30 g) minced flat leaf parsley
    • 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) lemon juice

    Directions

    1. This chicken dish is Spanish in origin, yet uses short grained Italian Arborio rice, the same rice which's used to make risotto. The result is a superb one-dish meal. All you need to finish your dinner is a light dessert like fresh fruit and fat free cheese or possibly frzn grapes. A demitasse of espresso would cap this off with a European flair.
    2. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C), gas mark 5.
    3. Heat the oil in a non- stick oven proof casserole or possibly skillet. Dry the chicken pcs. Season with salt and pepper and brown on both sides. Remove to a plate and keep hot.
    4. Add in the onion, peppers, garlic, and tomato; stir till the onion is soft. Add in the rice, turmeric, paprika, cumin and coriander. Stir to coat.
    5. Add in the broth and wine and return the chicken to the casserole. Bring to a simmer and then place in the oven and bake uncovered till the rice is cooked al dente and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 min.
    6. While the chicken is cooking, combine the yogurt, parsley, and lemon juice.
    7. Chill till ready to use.
    8. When the chicken and rice are done, spoon the rice onto a serving platter, top with chicken breasts and drizzle yogurt sauce over the chicken. Pass the rest of the sauce.
