Instructions for Peruvian Chicken & Rice
- Marinate the chicken by combining minced garlic, lime juice, oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- For grilling, preheat to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until charred and cooked to 165°F. For baking, preheat to 450°F and bake for 30 minutes, brushing with marinade halfway through.
- Rinse jasmine rice under cold water, soak for 10-15 minutes. In a saucepan, melt butter or oil, and sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add rice, stir well, pour in chicken stock, and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover and lower heat, simmer for 15 minutes. Ensure liquid is absorbed; the rice should be fluffy. Stir in frozen peas, cover again, and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Make the green sauce by blending cilantro, mayonnaise, sour cream, jalapeños, garlic, olive oil, and lemon or lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- To serve, plate the yellow rice, place grilled chicken on top, and drizzle with green sauce for a colorful presentation.

Notes
Let the chicken marinate overnight for the best flavor. Customize the green sauce to your liking.
