Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Add rice, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Cook chicken patties
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • While the pan heats, thinly slice parsley stems.
  • Add chicken, parsley stems and half the garlic salt to a medium bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
  • Form mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties (8 patties for 4 ppl).
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted.
  • Add chicken patties. Pan-fry until cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
  • Remove from heat. Transfer patties to a plate.
Prep
3
  • Meanwhile, cut half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl) into wedges.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cook sauce
4
  • When patties are done, with the pan still off heat, stir in cream cheese, half the tikka sauce (use all for 4 ppl) and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water.
  • Return the pan to medium. Bring to a simmer, stirring often to combine.
  • Once simmering, stir in tomatoes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
  • Add spinach. Cook, stirring often, until wilted, 1 min.
  • Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.
Finish chicken patties
5
  • Return chicken patties to the pan. Gently stir to warm through, 1 min. (TIP: If sauce gets too thick, add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until you reach desired consistency.)
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
6
  • Add half the parsley to the pot with rice, then fluff with a fork. (TIP: Add 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] butter, then fluff until melted, if desired.)
  • Divide parsley rice between plates. 
  • Spoon sauce over rice. Top with chicken patties.
  • Sprinkle with remaining parsley. 
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.

If you've opted to get chicken, prep and cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook the turkey.**
