Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless chicken thighs
3 cups chicken stock
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
12 ounces uncooked white rice
3 tomatoes, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large pot, boil chicken pieces in chicken stock, adding onion and garlic to stock before boiling. When chicken is cooked through, remove from stock and set aside. Add turmeric and stir in, then set stock aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil. Add mushrooms and saute for 1 minute. Add rice, stir for 2 minutes, then add stock. Let all simmer gently for 20 minutes. In the meantime, skin and slice tomatoes and add to pilaf mixture. Cut cooked chicken into bite size pieces and add to the skillet, along with the red, green and yellow bell peppers. Stir all together and simmer over low heat, stirring, until all liquid is absorbed and rice is separate and fluffy.

This pilaf is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on a Sunday night and ate it for lunch all week.

I love that this recipe uses three different types of peppers. It gives the pilaf a really complex flavor.

My pilaf didn't turn out as fluffy as I would have liked. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I thought this pilaf was just as good as any meat-based pilaf I've had.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover peppers. I had a few bell peppers that were starting to go bad, and this pilaf was the perfect way to use them up.

I had to substitute brown rice for white rice, but the pilaf still turned out great.

This pilaf was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for someone who enjoys a little heat.
