# Instructions:
01 -
Mix up all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Keep 1/4 of it for brushing later. Coat the chicken with the rest. Let it sit in the fridge for an hour or overnight.
02 -
Get the grill preheated to medium-high or heat your oven to 450ºF. If you're serving rice, get that started now.
03 -
Grill each side of the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or bake it for nearly 30 minutes until the inside hits 165ºF. Brush some of the marinade you set aside about halfway through cooking.
04 -
Rinse the rice and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. In a pot, melt butter and sauté garlic and onion. Mix in the rice, spices, and seasonings. Pour the broth, bring it to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add peas and let it sit for a bit.
05 -
Put all the sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to your taste.
06 -
Put the rice on your plate, add the chicken over the top, then spoon on the green sauce.
# Notes:

Feel free to use chicken breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or even a whole chicken
