Chicken Pilaf is one of the most popular of recent trending foods in the world. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It is easy, it’s quick, it tastes yummy. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Chicken Pilaf is something which I have loved my entire life.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have chicken pilaf using 17 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Chicken Pilaf:

1. Make ready 1 large knob butter
2. Take 3 banana shallots, diced
3. Make ready 3 cloves garlic, chopped
4. Make ready 1 leek, sliced
5. Take 1 stick celery, sliced
6. Get 150 g unsmoked bacon, diced
7. Prepare 150 g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
8. Prepare 2 peppers (one each red & green), deseeded and sliced
9. Make ready 300 g cooked chicken, diced
10. Take 250 g long-grain rice
11. Prepare 1 tsp sumac
12. Make ready 1 tsp Salt
13. Get 1/2 tsp Ground black pepper
14. Get 250 ml dry white wine
15. Make ready 600 ml chicken stock
16. Prepare 1 large tomato, cut into wedges
17. Prepare Coriander or parsley to garnish (optional - I omitted this time)

Steps to make Chicken Pilaf:

1. Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 3 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 150C)
2. Melt the butter in a casserole and gently fry the shallots for 4 minutes,stirring only to avoid sticking.
3. Add the garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring gently.
4. Stir in the leek and continue frying for another 2 minutes. Then add the celery and bacon, stirring occasionally, and after 3 minutes stir in the mushrooms, then the peppers. Stir all gently but thoroughly for 1 minute.
5. Add the chicken, rice, sumac, salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly again.
6. Add wine and stock and bring to the boil. Cover and put in oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice cooked.
7. Check after around 25 minutes that the rice mixture hasn’t “run dry”. It rarely happens but, if so, just add a splash or two of water. This is not a risotto so the aim is not to have a “wet” plate of food, just nice, fluffy, moist rice.
8. Top with the tomato wedges and, if wished, coriander or parsley garnish. Serve onto warmed plates.
