Cut chicken thighs into small pieces and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove excess oil from the pan after the chicken is browned.

Cook the chicken in a pressure cooker for about 4 minutes.

Add 1 L of water to the chicken in the pressure cooker.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of turmeric for color.

Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 4 minutes until the pin indicates it's done.

Release the pressure from the cooker and transfer the contents to another pot.

Wash the rice and add it to the pot without additional water, as there is already water from the chicken.

Place the piqui and carrots on top of the rice.

Cover the pot and let it cook until the rice is done, adding a little more water if necessary.

After the first water has evaporated, add a little more water to create a thick broth.

Lower the heat and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a clean kitchen towel for 5 minutes to steam the rice.

Serve the rice with chicken, piqui, and carrots.
