Marinating chicken

Add chicken to a bowl, add all ingredients for marination, give a good mix and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Making creamy chicken

Heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a pan, add marinated chicken and saute on medium to high for 2-3 minutes till the chicken is cooked well and turns pale golden. Add garlic and saute on high for a few seconds till fragrant. Add all purpose flour and saute on low for 1-2 minutes till the rawness of flour goes. Keep stirring continuously to avoid the flour getting burnt. Add milk gradually while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps being formed. Bring to a boil while stirring and simmer for 2-3 minutes till the sauce thickens and turns creamy. Add salt & oregano, mix well and take off the heat.

Making herb rice

While the sauce is cooking, heat another pan with 2 teaspoons of butter, add garlic and saute on medium for a few seconds till lightly roasted. Add rice, salt, spring onions, coriander leaves, give a good toss, cook for 2-3 minutes till the rice absorbs the seasonings and take off the heat.

Serving

For each serving, add 1 cup of herb rice to a bowl, add 2-3 ladles of creamy chicken and serve immediately.
