Chicken Pilau<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 3 onion, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tbsp ginger\/garlic paste<\/li>\n
  • 1 packet Laziza Yakhni Pilau spice mix<\/li>\n
  • 100g 0% Greek yogurt<\/li>\n
  • 2 cubes Maggie seasoning (optional)<\/li>\n
  • 3 chicken breasts, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups rice, washed and soaked for 30 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Method<\/h4>\n

    Spray a large pan with plenty of low calorie cooking spray. Add the onions and fry for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Add cumin seeds and chilli flakes and continue to cook the onions till golden brown (around 15 minutes). Use hot water if the onions start to stick to the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n

    Add the chicken, ginger\/garlic paste, Maggie cubes (if using, or use salt to taste)\u00a0and one packet of the Laziza spice mix. Fry until the chicken has browned all over before adding the yogurt. Cook for 10 minutes then add 4 cups of boiling water to the chicken. Check for seasoning and add the drained water.<\/p>\n

    Cook the rice on high heat till most of the water has evaporated then place the lid on the pan and cook on a low heat for 25 minutes or until all the water has evaporated and the rice and chicken is cooked.<\/p>\n
