Persian Style Chicken and Rice image

This isn't actually a Persian recipe, but it is inspired by Persian dishes i have had in the past.... It's very easy to prepare and its great for summertime, or as a side dish for a nice lamb tagine. Very important - must use real saffron, not imitation! You can use less or more butter if you like, depending on how you like the taste (or how worried you are about the waistline!!!)

Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the rice was fluffy and aromatic. I would definitely make this again, but I would probably make a few changes to the recipe.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more spices.

The rice was a bit mushy, but the chicken was delicious. I think I would have liked it more if I had cooked the rice for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was way too spicy for me. I could barely eat it. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less chili powder.
