Notes

1. If you are using 2 small chicken breasts instead of 1 large one, remove the chicken a few minutes earlier otherwise it will overcook.

2. The best rice to use for this is long grain or basmati rice which are not sticky. The best substitutes are brown rice, jasmine or medium grain rice. Short grain rice will also work but the pilaf will be stickier than it should be. This recipe is not suited to risotto rice.

3. I like Danish feta, but greek or ordinary is fine too. Goats cheese also works great.
