Saffron Rice and Shredded Chicken Salad

Before I show you how to make this turmeric or saffron rice and shredded chicken salad, make sure you have a piece of cooked chicken breast, and a cup of chicken broth. If you don't have the broth, making it is easy.  Bring a pot of water to boil, season with salt and black pepper, then drop in your boneless, skinless chicken breast to cook until done.

Turmeric Rice

• In a pan, saute 1 large chopped garlic clove with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil until brown.
• Add 1 cup of rice, 1/8 teaspoon of saffron or turmeric powder, and stir for 1 minute
• Add 2 cups of chicken broth, and bring to a boil
• Covered and cook for another 10 minutes on low heat
• Remove the pan from the heat and let it stand for 5 minute
• Fluff the rice before serving

Shredded Chicken And Onion Salad
