Bite-sized pieces of chicken breast are coated in a spice blend that’s heavy on coriander, giving them the flavor of a street-cart favorite. The rice is kept simple but savory, and the cucumber-tomato salad is the ideal finishing touch because it adds freshness, crunch, and zing. You can use brown basmati rice if you’d like; just increase the simmering time from 15 minutes to 30. If you have any leftovers, store them separately so you can reheat the rice mixture and keep the salad raw.
