Brown rice pilaf with chicken can be considered a healthier version of this dish, as it is made with unpolished grains that still have their outer shell. What makes this product good? It contains more B vitamins and minerals that are valuable for health. Additionally, brown rice has a very distinctive flavor: nutty with light fruity notes. Just what you need for chicken pilaf! Many might ask if the meat from thighs and drumsticks can be replaced with chicken breast fillet? Of course, just keep in mind that in this case, the brown rice pilaf will turn out drier. You will find all the detailed information on how to prepare the dish in the recipe below.

Prepare the ingredients for the pilaf. Rinse the brown rice, changing the water until it becomes clear. Transfer it to a bowl. Fill with clean cold water and leave for 1 hour.

Cut the chicken for pilaf into small cubes. Cut the onion into half rings, carrots into not too thin strips. Peel the garlic from the top husk.

Prepare a pan for pilaf. Ideally, it should be cast iron, but another one will do, but it must have a thick bottom: it retains heat well and distributes it evenly over the surface. Place the pan over high heat. Pour in the oil and heat it. Add carrots. Fry, stirring, 5 minutes. Add chicken and onions. Sprinkle with cumin. Stirring, cook over medium heat for another 7 minutes. The chicken pieces should be browned.

Pour boiling water into the pan (it should cover the chicken and vegetables with a 2 cm layer). Season with salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat.

Place the soaked rice in a sieve, then spread it in an even layer over the chicken and vegetables. Stick a peeled head of garlic into the middle. Cover the pan tightly with a lid.

Simmer the pilaf over low heat for about 25 minutes. Then open the pan and check that the water is almost completely absorbed into the rice (it may remain at the bottom). Cover the pan tightly and leave for 10 minutes.
