Chicken And Vegetable Palau

Palau is like a pilaf which is easy to cook and can be served with ratia or  with any salad or chutney. This can be cooked with veggies only or with chicken or with any other meat of your choice, but I  made it with boneless and skinless chicken breast and some vegetables.It was  tasty and flavorful with a kick from chili powder.
