Chicken Liver Rice Pilaf

A complete, tasty and satisfying dish for lunch or dinner! The dish — rice with chicken liver — is reminiscent of pilaf in its method of preparation, appearance and taste, but it turns out to be a less fatty and high-calorie dish. This dish is prepared just as quickly as regular chicken pilaf, only instead of chicken meat we use chicken liver to prepare it, which is quite cheap, but tasty and healthy.
