Chicken Pulao is one of the popular and most loved rice dishes from India. Pulao also known as PILAF is a one pot rice dish similar to chicken biryani but is milder in taste. Easy and quick to make chicken pulao recipe needs basmati rice, chicken, yogurt and whole spices.
Chicken Pulao is one of the simplest rice preparations you could ever make with chicken. It just needs 45 minutes to cook. The only thing which takes time is marinating the chicken. Other than that everything is so simple. This chicken pulav is flavour packed; You could make it spicy or milder as per your wish by increasing the green chillies. If you are a vegetarian you could make it with paneer, tofu or cauliflower.
Indian pulaos are one pot dishes and something cooked as a meal in itself. My mother would also serve pulao at dinner parties after most guests would have finished eating Indian bread with the main curries.
Every stage of making chicken pulao was carefully done. With onions thinly sliced, spices spluttering in ghee. The laborious task of cooking the onions which is really what yields the colour in the resultant dish, cooking the chicken and adding the long grain rice simmering until it was just done making sure the grains do not break.
Mum would give the pulao a DUM and turn heat off to let the dish rest before serving.
Taking the lid off the pot with the steam wafting through when she served it out. Oh my! And just for that it is worth slaving on the stove to make this recipe.
Unlike Biryani there is no layering of the meat with the rice. In Pulaos the rice is cooked together with meat or vegetables. This recipe includes whole spices, chillies and onions mainly. Most of the ingredients in this dish are easy to find. What takes long is cooking the onions; make sure to give that some time as it makes all the difference. Simply served as a one pot meal with some raita and salad or onions it is a reminder of what home cooking is!

Tips; *Use high quality basmati rice which is aromatic for making pulao . *Use chicken with bone-in for maximum flavour. Bone-in chicken stays juicy and moist once cooked where as chicken breast tends to dry out. Also chicken bones impart lots of chicken flavour to the dish.
