Cooking Method:
Chicken Biryani
2-3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces or strips
300g easy cook basmati rice
800ml chicken stock
1 large onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1 small cinnamon stick
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground corriander
4 tbls medium curry paste
75g raisins
3 tbls oil for frying
300g easy cook basmati rice
800ml chicken stock
1 large onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1 small cinnamon stick
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground corriander
4 tbls medium curry paste
75g raisins
3 tbls oil for frying
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the onions, bay leaf and cinnamon stick until the onion softens and colours nicely (about 8-10 minutes).
Stir in the turmeric and corriander and add your chicken, raisins and curry paste. Cook for a few minutes, then add the rice and the chicken stock.
Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer, following the instructions on your packet of easy cook basmati rice. Turn off the heat, remove the bay leave and cinnamon stick and leave to stand for a few minutes.
Make sure the chicken has cooked through and the rice is cooked properly (if the rice is not cooked, add a little boiling water and return to the heat).
Serve immediately.

Rice can sometimes be quite boring but our Chicken Biryani recipe is far from being boring. It tastes great hot and fantastic cold with a little mayonnaise run trough it. The combination of the succulent chicken, the plump raisins and the curry spices is wonderful.
