Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- We start by making the rice... sauté the finely chopped onion with ghee and oil, a bay leaf, and 2 cardamom pods until the onion softens.
- Add the carrot and stir until it softens as well.
- Add the rice after rinsing and draining it, then add the bouillon cube, salt, water, corn, peas, and salt, and stir.
- When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat and cover the pot, then leave it over low heat until the rice is cooked.
- Five minutes before turning off the heat, drizzle the saffron dissolved in boiling water over the top and gently mix the surface with a fork, then cover the pot for 5 more minutes and turn off the heat.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken... rub it with salt, vinegar, and lemon, then with flour, and finally wash it well with water and drain it.
- Place all the marinade ingredients over the chicken breasts after cutting them, and mix.
- Cook them over high heat with the bay leaf and cardamom until the liquids release, then lower the heat until they are cooked through.
- Serve the rice in a serving dish and arrange the chicken pieces on top.
