I was frustrated earlier trying to figure out what to cook for dinner for a few picky eaters, so I typed:

chicken
no strawberry
no gravy
no olives
rice
noodles
spices
onion
garlic

into Goblin Tools. The recipe it came back with is delicious. I cooked it and got no complaints from anyone, which impressed me so I figured I’d share it. I added 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala to the spice mixture but other than that I cooked it exactly how it says to in the recipe.

The recipe (exactly as returned):

Dish Name: Spiced Chicken and Rice Pilaf

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

• 500 g (1 lb) chicken, cut into pieces
• 250 g (1 1/4 cups) rice
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 750 ml (3 cups) chicken broth or water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp oil

Instructions: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Stir in the cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Add the rice and stir to coat. Pour in the chicken broth or water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid. Fluff with a fork before serving. Enjoy your Spiced Chicken and Rice Pilaf!
