Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 -3 lbs chicken (breasts or thighs)
2 limes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 garlic cloves, -crushed
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cups hot water
2 cups coconut milk
1 (19 ounce) can pigeon peas (or green peas)
2 cups carrots
4 tablespoons raisins
2 cups rice (NOT INSTANT!)
1 hot pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken and rub with lime.
  • In a large bowl: add salt, black pepper, garlic, half of the brown sugar, and half of the worcestershire sauce to chicken, then set aside (the longer you let it sit, the better the flavor!).
  • Heat oil in large deep pot. When hot, sprinkle in remaining brown sugar. Once sugar begins to bubble, add chicken and coat well until chicken is nicely browned.
  • Add carrots, rice, hot pepper, water and coconut milk. Mix well. Cover tightly and cook on very low heat 30-45 mins until rice is almost fully cooked. Do not stir while cooking.
  • Add pigeon peas and raisins. Continue cooking on low heat 10-15 mins until rice is fully cooked. Add additional worcestershire sauce to taste.
  • VARIATION: pork or beef can be used instead of chicken.

This chicken pelau was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili pepper next time.

This was my first time making chicken pelau and it turned out great! The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the chicken was moist and tender.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken pelau, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of spices and coconut milk was perfect.

This chicken pelau recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were incredible and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
