Now this is chicken & rice done right.

Thanks to Jalal

, you’ll never have to settle for plain, dry chicken & rice meal prep again. His easy chicken biryani recipe is absolutely loaded with aromatic flavour, tender chicken pieces, and a rich creamy marinade to tie it all together. Perfect for a satisfying evening meal and then the leftovers can be boxed up for lunch the next day. Winning.
