Add the chipotle sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic paste, sazon, paprika and oregano and toss everything together to fully coat the chicken pieces in marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. While the chicken marinades make your yellow rice: Heat a pot over medium high and melt the ghee, add the washed rice, then the sazon, bouillon powder and turmeric. Toast the rice and spices for 1 minute or until fragrant and any liquid from the rice has evaporated. Add in 2 cups of water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cover tightly with a lid. Cook the rice according to the package instructions or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is easily fluffed with a fork. To make the sauce: To a blender, add the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, chipotle sauce, honey, lime juice, salt, pepper, paprika and oregano and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings then transfer to a squeeze bottle. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium high and add about 1 Tbsp of ghee or oil. Once hot, add the chicken in one even layer and let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Stir and flip the chicken so it browns on all sides, about 1 minute, then add in the chopped onion for the last 4-5 minutes of cooking. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to assemble.Build your bowl: Layer rice on the bottom of a serving bowl, then add a layer of cooked chicken and onions along with diced tomato and shredded lettuce.
