Can I paraphrase an conference paper I wrote in my dissertation?

During my dissertation, I wrote a conference paper that has been accepted but that will only be published after I deliver my dissertation.

I now want to paraphrase the content of that paper into my dissertation because it is really relevant. I've heard that this is a relatively normal practice with PhD thesis, where whole articles are used as a chapters. Is it fine if I do something like this in my dissertation if I add a disclamer or cite my article (that is not yet published)? Or should I re-write it from scratch to avoid plagiarism?
