About

Plov is actually a central Asian version of rice pilaf, and it's unlike any rice pilaf you've had before! Chicken Plov has the fluffy, hearty texture of classic pilaf infused with tangy, rich, and meaty flavor. Filled with pan-seared savory chicken and fresh-grated carrot for brightness, Chicken Plov is a full meal in a single dish and one that will warm you to the core! Weekly dinners never felt so satisfying.
