Best 4 Chicken Liver Pilaf Recipes

CHICKEN LIVER PILAF

Steps:

• Cook the livers in 1 tblsp of the butter, and when firm outside, cool and mince into small cubes.
• Saute the onion and livers in the remaining butter.
• Add the rice and stir to coat the rice with fat.
• Cook like this for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the water, currants, pine nuts and spices and bring to the boil.
• Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, when all the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.
• Remove lid of pan, cover with a clean dish towel and replace lid.
• Allow to steam for 10 minutes.
• Remove lid and fluff rice with a fork.
• Note: if you have chicken stock, replace the water with that and forego the stock cube.

ONE-POT CHICKEN PILAF

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the onion for 5-6 mins until softened. Add the chicken pieces, fry for a further couple of mins just to colour the outside, then stir in curry paste and rice. Cook for another min.
• Pour in the chicken stock and throw in any larger bits of frozen veg. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, then cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 10 mins, then stir in the remaining veg. Scatter over the spinach, cover, then cook for 10 mins more until all the stock is absorbed and the rice is tender. Give everything a good stir, season to taste, then tuck in.

EASY PILAF

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 1 quart baking dish with butter.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the onion in the butter until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the rice; cook until the rice is slightly golden. Pour in the chicken broth. Season with the salt. Simmer another 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the broth is completely absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Fluff with a fork to serve.

RED PEPPER CHICKEN PILAF

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and add the cooking oil. Sautee the peppers until they are tender, about 10 minutes. After about the first 8 minutes, add the garlic in with the peppers. Transfer the drained peppers and garlic to a bowl. Reserve remaining oil in the skillet.
• Pour the flour into a lunch-sized paper bag. Pat each chicken breast dry and, one at a time, shake the breasts in the bag to coat each with flour. Place the chicken breasts into the skillet and brown them on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and put the peppers back in, adding the broth and the wine. Deglaze any chicken bits with your spatula. Turn the heat to medium high and reduce the liquid to a sauce texture.
• Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5 more minutes over medium heat. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Pour the warmed rice on a large platter, pour the chicken and peppers over it, and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve family style.
