Chicken ‘n’ Pilaf made in butter
Delicious and super easy. Hacer makes this sometimes, she makes it with lots of butter.
Ingredients:
Chicken with bones, any pieces
salt,
red pepper,
black pepper,
oregano,
and ofcourse lots of butter
for Pilaf (butter rice):
oil,
butter about 2 tbsp,
rice about 2 cups for 4 people
salt
Boil the chicken, reserve the stock (it will be used to make the pilaf). Shred the chicken and discard the bones. Put butter about 4-6 tbsp, in a frying pan, add the chicken to it. Cook covered, stir sometimes. Finally when the chicken pieces start turning reddish, add salt, black and red pepper and the oregano. Mix and let it remain covered for sometime.
To make the pilaf, add oil and butter to the cooking pot, when they boil, add the washed rice, and sautee for sometime. When the water kindof dries off, add about 4 cups of hot water, and salt. Let it come to a boil, and then cover and let it simmer till done.
To serve as shown in the picture, take a bowl, first put some chicken in it, then press it down. Then top it with the pilaf. Press it down and then first put a plate over it then flip the whole thing, (bowl turns upside down). Slowly pull off the bowl.
Eat hot with salad.
