This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped celery and carrots for extra flavor.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it turned out much better.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pilaf turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a mix of brown and white rice, and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of pilaf, but this recipe changed my mind. The cranberries and walnuts added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
