For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a bay leaf to the chicken broth while it simmers. Feel free to experiment with different types of rice, such as basmati or jasmine, to change the texture and aroma of the pilaf. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
