It is necessary to initially pay attention to rice - a grain that is hard and difficult to digest. To avoid spoiling the dish with the raw ingredient, you need to soak the grains in advance. Pour boiling water over the rice. Leave for 2 hours, and then rinse the cereal thoroughly using a sieve.

    Remove the skins from the onion. Cut the vegetable into neat medium-sized half rings. If you find it more convenient to chop into cubes, you can use this form. Peel the carrots from soil and dirt, wash. Remove the peel. Chop the vegetable into strips or cut into triangles. You can also grate carrots. Finely chopping is not recommended.

    Rinse the chicken. Cut into medium pieces.

Option 1: Chicken pilaf in a pressure cooker - classic recipe

A pressure cooker helps speed up the cooking process without sacrificing taste. Heat treatment takes less time, and more beneficial properties of the ingredients are preserved. You can cook almost any food in a pressure cooker. And if you have a pressure cooker and a multicooker in one device, then you can be envied. We will look at options for preparing chicken pilaf in a pressure cooker, starting with the classic one.

Ingredients:

  • 400 g chicken thighs;
  • 3 cups long grain rice;
  • 150 g carrots;
  • 100 grams of onions;
  • 2 tbsp pilaf seasoning;
  • 10 grams of table salt;
  • 1 pinch of black pepper;
  • 3 measured glasses of water;
  • 1 head of garlic;
  • 20 ml sunflower oil.

Step-by-step recipe for pilaf with chicken in a pressure cooker

To prepare chicken pilaf, it is best to take pieces with chicken on the bone. In our recipe these are thighs. The meat from them, and therefore the whole pilaf, turns out more juicy.

Rinse the chicken thighs, cut off the skin, and remove the bones. Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the pressure cooker and add the specified amount of oil.

Turn on the device and fry the meat until slightly golden brown. Stir constantly to prevent anything from burning. Since everything cooks so quickly in a pressure cooker, stay close to the stove while you fry the chicken.

Peel a large onion or a couple of small ones, chop into squares and send to the chicken. Stir and continue frying.

Peel the carrots from the top layer, cut into thin strips and add to the pressure cooker. Mix everything again and cook for just a couple more minutes.

Add pilaf seasoning, table salt and mix everything. Add long grain rice. This is exactly what is suitable for pilaf, the round one will turn into porridge, but we need crumbly pilaf. Divzira, Basmati and Indica rice varieties are very suitable for pilaf.

Flatten the rice a little with a spatula and add water. You may deviate from the amount specified in the recipe depending on the capacity of your pressure cooker. The main thing is that the water barely covers the rice; it should not float in it.

Place a head of garlic in the center; it should be slightly buried in the rice.

Close the lid of the pressure cooker, close the pressure release valve and set the time for twenty minutes. We begin the countdown when the pressure cooker reaches the required pressure.

After the specified time, be careful not to get burned, release the steam, and open the lid.

Place the finished portions of pilaf on plates and garnish with fresh herbs.

In a pressure cooker, pilaf cooks quickly, and we will cook it even faster. In order not to bother with cutting meat, we use chicken fillet - we just rinse it and cut it into small pieces. Instead of a universal seasoning, we will take several standard ones specifically for pilaf.

Tips for beginner cooks

  1. In order for the pilaf to be crumbly at the end, you should give preference to steamed rice rather than round grain rice. Steamed cereal is stronger and does not stick together or become soft when cooked;
  2. In order to taste truly traditional pilaf, use lamb. It is this type of meat that gives the dish its characteristic oriental taste. Moreover, you need to choose either brisket or shoulder, since these parts of lamb contain more meat and less fat;
  3. One of the oriental secrets for preparing a dish is the technology of adding ingredients. Meat and vegetables are laid out at the bottom, and the “top” is rice;
  4. The ingredients are not mixed during the cooking process;
  5. The aroma of the dish is given not only by the meat, but also by the spices used for it. The ideal option would be spices that are individual components rather than a mixture. You can find such seasonings at the market.
