Chicken Pilau Recipe
Chicken Pilau

This is a South Carolina low country favorite. Some call it pilaf, others pilau but around Charleston it's perlow. No matter what, it's still good.NOTE 1: I used chicken gizzards in this recipe. If you're on a low cholesterol diet please use regular chicken instead.NOTE2: This version is a stove top recipe. However, it can be cooked in the oven. After stewing the meat and vegetables, remove meat and chop. Then combine with uncooked rice and vegetable-broth mixture in a 13x9 pan. Bake covered until rice has absorbed the liquid.I've never tried this with brown rice, I always us Basmati.
