Hello everyone. Today we are going to make spelt pilaf with mushrooms and chicken breast. Here are the ingredients that we will use

Recipe:

• 1.5 cups of spelt grain
• 1 cups of water
• 500g chicken breast
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 white onion
• 500g mushrooms
• 50 ml olive oil
• 50 g butter
• salt to taste
• paprika to taste
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper

I soaked the spelt grain for an hour before starting. Boil the chicken breast, then, I chopped all the ingredients into small pieces. Keep the chicken broth for cooking the spelt.

Pour 1 cup of water and 2 cups of broth onto the spelt. Add 1 tsp of salt. Once the water starts to boil lower the heat and cook for 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the onion, cooked chicken and mushrooms. On a large skillet pour the olive oil. Then add the onions; once they start getting caramelized, add the chicken and mushrooms. Season it with salt and paprika. Mix well, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, until the mushrooms shrink and the water evaporates. Afterward, mix the spelt and the mushroom mixture together and cook for another 15 minutes. Add the butter and turn off the heat.
