Delicious pilaf with chicken in a slow cooker

How to make delicious pilaf with chicken in a slow cooker?

1. Rinse the rice and fill it with warm water, let it stand.
2. Wash the chicken and cut into portions. Sometimes I only take fillets or thighs.
3. Fry the meat in a slow cooker in sunflower oil ("FRYING" or "BAKING" mode).
4. Wash onions and carrots, peel and cut into large strips.
5. Add the vegetables to the browned meat and fry for 10-15 minutes.
6. Drain the rice and add it to the fried meat with vegetables, but do not mix, level the meat on top.
7. Fill in the water - it should cover the rice by 1.5-2 cm.
8. Add salt, spices and crushed garlic clove.
9. We cook in the "PILAF" mode for 45 minutes. After completing the program, do not open the lid immediately, let the pilaf stand for a while (10 minutes).

Bon appetit

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode in the recipe are indicated approximately. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.

Important! To make rice dishes invariably delicious, read the article about the subtleties of choosing rice and the secrets of its preparation .

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
