Millet is a healthy, fiber-packed food, but has a mellow taste some would call bland. Chicken could also be called plain, but the two mix nicely in this delicious and elegant chicken and millet pilaf dish. As a bonus, you only dirty one pot with this recipe. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Mix paprika, ground cumin, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Add chicken breasts and dredge them to cover them with this mixture.
2. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a skillet. When hot, add the chicken. Cook on each side for about 5 minutes until thoroughly cooked. Set aside on a plate.
3. Now add another tablespoon of oil and add the chopped onions. Sautee until the onion is wilted and then add garlic. Stir in millet, tomatoes and chicken broth. Add the chicken on top. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes or until the millet is tender.
4. Remove from the heat and serve. You can add bay leaves or rosemary sprigs for garnish.
