  • Prepare the chicken with spices, load the cooker with rice, the prepared chicken, finely chopped vegetables like carrot, bell peppers, and onion, and finally the desired amount of water.

For a chicken plov recipe, the thighs and the breasts of a chicken are recommended to be used. The chicken should be boneless and finely pieced into medium-sized pieces.
