CHICKEN BIRYANI IN THE INSTANT POT®
Chicken biryani has roots in both Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, and the seasonings will vary depending on region. While I won't claim this is authentic, it's quite tasty. Plan ahead, because the chicken marinates overnight before cooking in the Instant Pot®. I use Mexican crema (sour cream) because I like the fluidity, as opposed to traditional sour cream.

[email protected]Overall, this is a good recipe for chicken biryani. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. However, I found the dish to be a bit too oily for my taste. Next time, I would reduce the amount of oil used.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for those who enjoy a spicy kick. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was fluffy, but I would probably reduce the amount of chili powder next time.
