Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 lb. fresh chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (14 1/2-oz.) can ready-to-serve chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and onion; cook 5 minutes or until chicken is browned and onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • 2
    Add all remaining ingredients except almonds; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Top each serving with almonds.

  • The first step in classic pilaf recipes is to brown the rice in oil or butter. Although our streamlined recipe omits this step, the ingredients are traditional for a Middle Eastern pilaf.
  • Chicken tenders are juicy, tender strips cut from the underside of chicken breasts. Look for packages of chicken tenders in the poultry section of the meat department.
  • Shelled pistachio nuts can be used in place of the toasted almonds in this recipe.
  • To toast almonds, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350°F. for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown stirring occasionally.
