Instructions:
Marinating the Chicken:
Begin by marinating the chicken pieces with a blend of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Preparing the Saffron Rice:Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
In a small bowl, steep a pinch of saffron strands in warm water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until the water turns a vibrant yellow-orange hue.
In a pot, heat olive oil and sauté finely chopped onions until translucent.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains with oil.
Pour in the saffron-infused water along with chicken broth, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf for added depth of flavor.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer until cooked and fluffy.
Cooking the Chicken:
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the marinated chicken pieces in the pan and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Serving:
Fluff the saffron rice with a fork and remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf.
Arrange the cooked chicken pieces on top of the saffron rice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
