Chicken, Lentil & Caramelized Onion Pilaf
"Inspired by a traditional Persian dish, Adas Polo, Trader Joe’s Chicken, Lentil & Caramelized Onion Pilaf is a fluffy, flavorful mix of basmati rice, hearty green lentils, diced caramelized onions, and tender dark meat chicken. Golden raisins and dates add sweetness and texture, and a blend of salt, pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and saffron tie it all together. The end result is an unforgettably delicious and astonishingly easy meal that you can take from freezer to table in mere minutes.
Place your Pilaf in a microwave-safe dish or a nonstick skillet, follow the packaging instructions for your preferred cooking method, then serve the dish warm, with a sprinkling of fresh herbs and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Or add it to a mezze platter along with some Organic Hummus, chopped Persian Cucumbers, and warm Pita Bread. Or prepare a few packages of Pilaf at once and call it your contribution to the annual office potluck. No need to fully disclose who made it—you did, with a little help from your neighborhood Trader Joe’s."
