After 15 minutes turn off the heat and allow keep rice covered for 5 more minutes. After 5 minutes fluff rice with fork and keep warm until ready to serve.

To cook the chicken: While the rice is cooking, prepare and cook the chicken. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound to make them thinner. To a large bowl, add the chicken breasts, yogurt, lemon juice, oil, garlic, and spices; Mix until well combined. Heat a large heavy-duty pan over high heat. Add the chicken mixture to the pan and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes then cut into small bite-size pieces or slices.
