Wash the rice and soak it in warm water for 15 minutes.
Toast the almonds in butter for 2 minutes, until lightly colored.
Add the rice and toast for 3 minutes, until coated with the almond butter.
Add the chicken stock and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Fold the shredded chicken and almonds into the pilaf.
Rest the pilaf for 10 minutes so the chicken fibers warm without drying out.
💡 Tip: Toasting the almonds separately and adding them later keeps them crisp instead of softening inside the pilaf.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with pickles on the side.
