Middle/near-eastern chicken and rice dish?
While in Manhattan (very south, near Pearl and Whitehall) my wife and I grabbed some food from a street vendor. It was a chicken and rice thing. The chicken was cut into small pieces and was red/orange and was served over yellow rice. Then they squirted a creamy white sauce and a spice red sauce over the top. It (along with the food servers) seemed middle or near eastern.
My wife looooved the food. Any idea what it would be called any where I might find a recipe?
Oops, I mean Whitehall and State, I think,
I guess it could have been Moroccan too.

Tandoori Chicken
Using a sharp knife, cut chicken into half.
Rub chicken with lemon juice and tandoori mix. Pour in plain yogurt and red colouring. Mix well. Marinate for 6-12 hours in a refrigerator.
Remove and roast in a tandoor oven or regular oven until cooked for about 30 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
Sorry I suck at conversions, I just use the lines on my pyrex measuring cups. For the tandoori oven, I use a non glazed ceramic flat planter from Home Depot and cover the top of the chicken with foil. I serve the chicken with a hot Naan bread to sop up the gravy. The Naan can be found at any supermarket.

Cook white rice as directed on the box. Put it in the bottom of a baking dish so it's about 2" thick. Pour a can of Rotello spicey tomatoes over the rice - don't mix it in. Spread some shredded Monterey Jack cheese or shredded Cheddar Cheese on the top. Bake it for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Easy, cheap and it tastes good.
