Persian Chicken and Rice image

Posted for ZWT 6. This actually comes from the small Middle Eastern country of Oman. As for cutting the dried apricots, I suggest using kitchen scissors or shears dusted with flour. It makes them much easier to cut.

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter (1/4 stick)
1 (2 1/2-3 lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped dried apricot
1/3 cup raisins
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice or 1 1/2 cups uncooked whole grain rice

Steps:

  • In a soup pot, melt the butter and cook the chicken for about 15 minutes, until brown on both sides; remove the chicken to a platter. Add the onion, apricots, and raisins and saute over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and cinnamon and bring to a boil. Add the rice and mix well. Return the chicken to the pot; reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is cooked through.

I'm not a huge fan of Persian food, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who is looking for a new and flavorful dish to try.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. The chicken was a bit dry, and the rice was a bit mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'll try again.
