Chicken pulao is one of the quick and easy recipes to be done in tough times and wanted to eat some delicious chicken dish. One can make this chicken pulao with limited ingredients without any hassle. If you have some chicken, basmati rice, herbs, and whole spices by your side, you don't need to worry about the curry. We can toss it up in a biryani, or an even simpler chicken pulao. Ofcourse the dum biryani will test our patience, but this chicken pulao cooked along with water is one of the easy, delicious, mouth melting and whole lunch without the extra curry.

To make any chicken recipes, marination is a must. Marinating the chicken makes the chicken tender, juicy and delicious. For this soak the chicken in saltwater for about 20 minutes, if you want to make the pulao as fast without overnight marination. If with overnight marination soaking in saltwater is not needed. Then marinate chicken with whole spices, curd, and almond paste and rest for about 1 hour.
