This authentic Chicken Biryani is a fragrant, layered rice dish that is pure comfort in a bowl. Tender marinated chicken is layered with perfectly spiced basmati rice, caramelized onions, and fresh herbs, then slow-cooked until every grain of rice is infused with incredible flavour. The saffron-kissed golden top and the aromatic steam that escapes when you lift the lid make this a truly special dish. Perfect for weekend dinners and celebrations.
