Note: The recipe has been scaled, so measurements and times may vary.

Marinate the chicken with lemon juice, zest, herbs, spices, and a hint of ZAFF Saffron, allowing it to rest briefly so the flavors infuse deeply.

Pan-sear the chicken until golden brown and juicy, locking in freshness and aroma.

Par-boil basmati rice until 70–80% cooked, then drain, preserving each grain’s fragrance and texture.

Sauté barberries in butter with a touch of sugar until plump and juicy, enhancing their natural tartness.

Gently combine the barberries with the rice and finish with a light ZAFF Saffron mist, infusing delicate aroma, golden color, and a touch of elegance before serving.
