Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Start by patting the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic .

• Add the chicken broth and turmeric, if desired. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
• Add back the chicken pieces and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes until the rice is cooked and almost all liquid has disappeared.
