Chicken Pilaf

I devised this recipe when one day I stood staring a two chicken breasts I had ready to cook, and wondered what the heck I was going to do with them for dinner….it’s absolutely yummy!

Ingredients:-

  • 2 free range chicken breasts, cut into long pieces
  • 1 large brown onion, sliced
  • 1 green capsicum, sliced into strips
  • handful fresh beans, chopped into small pieces
  • handful of chopped butternut pumpkin (optional I don’t always put this in)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 long red chilli, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2tsp curry powder
  • 1 litre chicken stock
  • 1 cup Basmati rice

Method:-

  1. Heat olive oil in a frying pan with deep sides, when soft add chicken pieces and brown on both sides.
  2. Add curry power and toss through.
  3. Add capsicum, beans, pumpkin( if you are including it), garlic and chilli and saute for 2 minutes.
  4. Add chicken stock and bring to boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Add rice and stir through.
  6. Simmer, stirring often until rice is cooked, add more stock if mixture becomes dry, as it is meant to have a nice sauce to serve.

Serve with fresh parsley as a garnish.  Serves 4………Enjoy!!!
