Preparation Steps
1
Dice the chicken breast and combine it with the yogurt, biryani masala spice mix, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2
Rinse the basmati rice in cold water, then soak it for 30 minutes. Parboil the rice in salted water until it's half cooked, then drain.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or pot. Sauté the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf until fragrant.
4
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the meat is partially cooked.
5
Add the chopped tomato, cilantro, and mint, then pour in the chicken broth. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
In a heatproof dish or pot, layer the parboiled rice and the chicken mixture, starting and ending with the rice. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes.
7
After baking, let it rest for 10 minutes, then gently fluff with a fork to combine the layers.
8
Serve the biryani garnished with fresh cilantro and mint, alongside a yogurt-based dipping sauce.
