Pilaf can be cooked in different ways, but even according to the same recipe, all housewives get different pilaf. What can I say about everyone! Take, for example, me specifically. I can cook the same pilaf from the same products three times, but each time it turns out with a different taste - not worse, not better, just with a different one. This story reminds me of the story of the classic borscht, when for some reason it doesn't come out the same as the previous one every time. I'm wondering how it will turn out with this dish. I cooked it for the first time, I remembered the taste, that's when they will do more, I will compare the result, even the most interesting! Speaking of how to cook pilaf with breast, I learned from my neighbor who once treated me to it. If we talk about the dish itself, I liked the combination of tender chicken breast, rice and roast, which we cooked not in the classical way, together with meat (as when cooking ordinary pilaf), but separately. Butter also fits perfectly into this pilaf. Simply put, I am not disappointed with my new experience, but quite the opposite!

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

Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape. 

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
