For an even richer flavor, use chicken stock instead of water. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your spice preference. If you don’t have saffron, a pinch of extra turmeric will still give a beautiful color. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for added richness. Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
