Let’s go, brother & sister! Here’s your Cheesy Chicken Pilaf — a fusion comfort dish with Turkish heart and halal love.
Recipe: Cheesy Chicken Pilaf
Halal| Servings: 2–3 | Time: 35 mins
Ingredients:
1 cup basmati or long grain rice
200g boneless chicken breast or thigh
1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin or paprika (optional)
1 tbsp butter or oil
Salt & pepper
2 cups water or chicken stock
Instructions:
1. Cook the chicken:
In a pan with butter/oil, sauté onions and garlic. Add diced chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and spices. Cook until golden.
2. Add rice:
Stir in the rinsed rice. Mix well to coat the grains with the flavors.
3. Simmer:
Add water or stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low until rice is fluffy (15–18 mins).
4. Make it cheesy:
When the rice is cooked, turn off heat. Sprinkle cheese on top, cover again for 5 minutes until it melts. Fluff and mix lightly.
Why it works:
Cozy and cheesy, but light and budget-conscious
A comforting one-pot meal
Great for lunchboxes, suhoor, or quick dinner
Comfort doesn’t have to be complicated. With every soft grain and melted bite, this dish reminds us that halal food can be both warm and nourishing — not just to our stomach, but to our soul. Simplicity seasoned with sincerity brings the most barakah.
