Chicken With Saffron Rice image

Found this recipe in a William-Sonoma catalog and looks so good, was wanting a recipe to try out my new dutch oven and this looks ideal. Finally got around to making this, a few more steps and involved than I'm usually into making but the end results were good and really not that hard. I loved the pretty orange color the saffron gave to the dish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out really tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a little too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.

I'm not a big fan of saffron, but I thought this dish was still really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the rice was flavorful.

The chicken was a little dry, but the rice was amazing. I would definitely make this again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a hit! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the saffron rice was flavorful and aromatic. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.
