Chicken and Chickpea Rice Pilaf
This started with a regular rice pilaf recipe that just expanded to include various beans and meats. Eventually this became my favorite combination. The rice turns crispy and crunchy when done right, with just the right amount of spice to keep you going back for more. This is a pretty time-consuming and labor-intensive dish, but after trial and error, as well as a little personal touch, it becomes a delicious weekly addiction.

Cook's Notes:
There are many ways to adjust this recipe to make it your own. I like mine with some spicy curry powder, chili powder, or Cajun seasoning at times. Depending on your spice tolerance, adjust the cayenne as necessary to taste.
If you do not have an oven-capable cast iron skillet, you can use a baking dish instead.
