Quick and easy, this One Pot Lemon Garlic Chicken with Yellow Rice is the perfect meal for a busy weeknight. Flavorful yellow rice is seasoned with savory turmeric, cumin, and a pinch of cayenne pepper, and cooked in the same pot as lemon garlic chicken thighs. So hearty and delicious, dinner has never been easier!
In a large skillet or dutch oven, mix rice together with olive oil, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir in onion, peas, and vegetable stock.
Rub chicken thighs with olive oil. Sprinkle with lemon juice, garlic powder, and zest from lemon. Place thighs over rice.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and rice has absorbed liquid. Top with green onions and serve.

Click on the time in the instructions to start a timer!This dish makes a lot of rice! Make sure your pot is big enough, I used a large enough cast iron skillet. The amount of chicken thighs depends on how big your pot is. My skillet fits five, but my dutch oven fits 6.
