I have never eaten such delicious rice ❗ Everyone will ask for your recipe

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: vegetables

Turkey is leaner, while vegetables make it vegetarian.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point.

almonds

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts provide healthy fats, while sunflower seeds are budget-friendly.

eggplant

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Zucchini is lower in calories, and cabbage is often less expensive.

Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Soak rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add diced chicken and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in diced eggplant and potatoes, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon to taste.

Add drained rice and stir to combine with the chicken and vegetables.

Pour in broth to cover the rice mixture by about an inch.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.

Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Carefully invert the pot onto a serving platter to release the pilav.

Garnish with toasted almonds and chopped parsley before serving.
