For a richer flavor, use bone-in chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or peas to the rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and mint leaves for a vibrant touch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and salt. Add chicken breast; toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
02
StepPlace rice in a bowl and cover with water; set aside to soften. In a small bowl, steep saffron threads in 1/4 cup water; set aside to bloom.
03
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
04
StepArrange onion rings in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Top with marinated chicken breast, reserving the marinade. Add 1/2 cup water to the reserved marinade and pour over the chicken. Top with tomato slices.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until chicken is cooked through, about 30-35 minutes. Ensure an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
06
StepIn a large pot, bring 6 cups water to a boil with cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and cumin. Drain rice and add to the pot. Boil until softened but still firm, about 8 minutes.
07
StepHeat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add masala curry sauce; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add parboiled rice and stir to combine, about 1 minute more. Stir in saffron-infused water and 3/4 cup water. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until rice is fluffy, about 5-10 minutes.
08
StepSpoon rice onto a serving platter; top with baked chicken breasts, onions, and tomatoes. Serve hot and enjoy!
