Pelau is a West Indian comfort food. This recipe is one of my mother's favorites... and mine as well.

Bring the vibrant flavors of the West Indies into your kitchen with this traditional Trinidadian Chicken Pelau. My mother has been making it for years. It blends tender marinated chicken, hearty pigeon peas, and aromatic brown rice into a comforting, all-in-one meal. Add coconut milk and the sweet depth of caramelized brown sugar, and every spoonful will deliver a taste of the island life to you.
