Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and Poblano pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and turmeric to the pot, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, slice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Once the rice is done, gently fold in the sliced chicken. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Poblano Chicken Turmeric Rice Pilaf warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
