How to cook Pilaf with chicken breast
There are a lot of options for cooking pilaf, pilaf is prepared from different cereals, with different types of meat, with nuts, dried fruits, etc. I really love pilaf with chicken and today I want to share with you a simple recipe for cooking this dish.
To make the pilaf crumbly, the most important thing is to choose a good rice. In order for the pilaf to turn out darker, we choose the carrots juicier and brighter, and most importantly, fry well and even slightly overcook the onion.
