This is my version of the Uzbek plov dish. The main difference is the fact that I use chicken instead of lamb. Also, I've simplified the recipe quite a bit. Actually, I came up with this version of the recipe a long time ago: between a full-time job and two small children, I barely had any time left to cook during the day, so I needed a recipe that would be rather simple and most importantly quick to prepare, and the prepared food would last us for a couple of days. My kids are all grown up now and my life is not that hectic anymore, but this dish still remains a favorite in our family.
