Delicious and Easy Chicken and Rice Pilaf Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and stir to combine.
4. Add the chicken broth, rice, and raisins to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
6. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the toasted slivered almonds and chopped parsley.

Tips:

• For added flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the skillet along with the other spices.
• If you don't have slivered almonds on hand, you can use chopped almonds or even cashews instead.
• This dish is great served with a side of steamed vegetables, such as broccoli or carrots.
