Chicken or Turkey Pilaf
A stunning dish! Fluffy rice combined with tender chicken meat and aromatic spices. In this recipe, using only fillets is acceptable; however, the flavor will be richer if you take a whole chicken and separate the meat from the bones (a small number of bones can be left). It is recommended to serve the pilaf with a vegetable salad.
