To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of basmati rice
- 4 cups of water
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of raisins
- 1/2 cup of slivered almonds
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
To start, rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. In a large pot, bring the water to a boil and add the rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice cook for about 20 minutes or until it is tender and fluffy.
While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine. Add the raisins and almonds and cook for another minute.
Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir until everything is well combined. Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
This dish is a perfect combination of fragrant spices and tender chicken. The rice is fluffy and perfectly cooked, and the raisins and almonds add a nice sweetness and crunch. Fragrant Chicken Plov with Aromatic Spices is a great dish for any occasion, and it is sure to impress your guests.
