Cooking Steps
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and broth concentrate to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Add rice and peas to the pot of boiling water and reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Meanwhile, combine mayo, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add cabbage, vinegar, 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and most of the liquid is absorbed, 1-2 min.
- Remove pan from heat. Transfer cabbage, including liquid, to a medium bowl. Set aside in the fridge to cool.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
- Add chicken, onions, Turkish Spice Blend, remaining garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Toss to combine.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, add half the parsley to the bowl with pickled cabbage. Toss to combine.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lemon zest and remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide rice between plates, then top with pickled cabbage and Turkish-spiced chicken.
- Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over top.
- Sprinkle with remaining parsley and dollop garlic toum sauce over top.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
