Restaurant Style Chicken Pulao || Chicken Pulao || How to make restaurant-style chicken pulao With step-by-step photos

Restaurant-style chicken pulao is a quite delicious, aromatic, and flavored rice recipe made with long grain basmati rice, chicken, yogurt, tomato, green chilies, and some basic whole spices and powder spices.

This chicken pulao is literally a finger-licking mildly spiced rice dish. this dish is perfect for a quick and super easy meal that can be ready within an hour. This chicken pulao is lighter than CHICKEN BIRYANI

There are so many ways of making a chicken pulao. some people use stock to cook the dish but This is not a yakhni pulao where you make a broth first, if you are looking for one then I have made BEEF YAKHNI PULAO and shared it on my blog.

For the best result follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips below the recipe card

Tips to make the best Chicken Pulao:

Always wash rice at least thrice to remove starch. this prevents the rice grains in the pulao from turning mushy and sticky
Soaking the basmati rice for 30 minutes is the best for making pulao and biryani. this helps the rice grains to expand well while cooking

I used broiler chicken whereas country chicken can enhance the taste of this pulao further..just added some tenderizer powder while cooking chicken with masala
Using whole spices, crushed ginger-garlic, and green chilies is the key to this chicken pulao and makes pulao aromatic and flavorful.

I also added yogurt this enhances the dish a lot and the chicken comes out very juicy and succulent without drying out
Using brown fried onion in this recipe gives a brownish color to the rice. whereas you can fry onion as well
Adding tomato slices to the pulao makes the pulao a bit tangy
Frying raw chicken pieces in oil is the most important step in this recipe. it takes the entire dish to a new level so doesn’t skip
