As the name suggests, rice with chickpeas and chicken is a simple yet flavourful and aromatic dish made from rice (cooked in chicken stock), shredded chicken and chickpeas.
Although many Turkish cooks make this hearty dish at home, the street version is the classic, authentic one and hard to recreate at home. This popular street food is usually sold from glass carts on the street or in rice restaurants, called “pilavcı” in Türkiye. The most famous place to try it in Istanbul is Unkapanı Pilavcısı.
