  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/4 teaspoon turmeric; and 1 cup long-grain rice.
  4. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to coat the rice with oil.
  5. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked through.
  7. Stir in 1 cup cooked chicken, diced; 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped; and 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted.
  8. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the rice is cooked.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.
