This easy yellow rice is delicious and just like the title insinuates it is an easy recipe to make! It is filled with spices from turmeric and curry powder, capers, grapes and chicken stock and it makes for a tasty side dish to any meal.
I love this yellow rice in my African inspired chicken bowl recipe which is a fusion recipe of African flavors, Mexican and some Asian flavors.
That bowl has this yellow rice, and that gets topped with grilled corn, arugula, grilled chili pepper chicken, cucumbers, avocados, sweet lime vinaigrette and a mild chili pepper mayo. It’s delicious. That recipe is HERE.
