- Add chicken strips and onion to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is browned and the onion is tender, stirring often to ensure even cooking.
- Next, add all the remaining ingredients to the pan except for the pistachio nuts. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and let it cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink, the rice is tender, and the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
