3 cups quick-cooking rice
2 roasted chicken breast halves, about 1 pound
1 (15-ounce) can chick peas, drained
1 cup reserved roasted vegetables from Roasted Vegetable Stew
1 cup yogurt
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and ground black pepper
Prepare quick-cooking rice according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of cooked rice for later in the week.
Cut chicken breasts into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces. Transfer chicken to a medium saucepan. Add chick peas, reserved roasted vegetables, yogurt, curry powder, and cumin and mix well to combine. Set pan over medium-low heat and cook 3 to 5 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Serve alongside rice.

Thai rice
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups Thai jasmine rice
3 cups water
Place rice in a small saucepan (approx. 2-1/2 qt). Rinse rice by running cold water over two or three times to cover and pouring the water out. This rids the rice of excess starch powder and broken rice which makes the cooked rice mushy and sticky. Add just enough water to cover the top of the rice by 1/2-inch (approximately 3 cups).
A convenient trick is to place your middle finger, just touching the top of the rice in the pan. The water level should be just below the first joint of your finger, from the tip. No measuring needed.
Cover the pot with the lid. Place over medium to medium high heat. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, another 10 minutes, until the water has completely evaporated.
Turn off the burner and allow rice to sit, covered, for at least another 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature (especially with spicy curries). Serves 2 to 3.
