How To Make Pelau or Chicken and Rice - One Pot Meal

Pick basil leaves from the garden and wash them.

Pick big leaf thyme and wash it.

Pick shadow benny leaves and wash them.

Pick bell peppers from the garden.

Put the washed basil, thyme, shadow benny, garlic, and bell peppers into a food processor to blend into a seasoning paste.

Season chicken wings with the blended seasoning paste, salt, soy sauce, and let it marinate overnight.

Prepare 1 cup and 3/4 of coconut milk, 2 cups of washed rice, 1 cup of frozen peas, and carrots, and butternut squash (or pumpkin).

Add 1 tablespoon and a half of sugar to brown the chicken during cooking.

Add 1 tablespoon of ketchup to the seasoned chicken (optional).

Heat a pot and add the seasoned chicken, cooking until browned.

Add chicken broth and coconut milk to the pot with the chicken, then add the rice, peas, carrots, and butternut squash.

Stir everything together and cover the pot to cook until the rice absorbs the liquid and is cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Continue cooking until the dish dries down, being careful not to scrape off the burnt bits at the bottom.
