Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ~90 seconds until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges are golden and cooked through, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add rice and turmeric to the same skillet and stir constantly until rice is golden and fragrant, 3–4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Push rice to the side, add 1 tbsp oil, crack eggs into the pan, and scramble until just set, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Fold cooked chicken back into rice and eggs, then scatter coconut shreds on top if using. Stir to combine.

  6. Step 6

    Plate the rice mixture and arrange tomato and cucumber slices alongside. Serve hot.
