How To Make Chicken Biryani

Growing up in Asia, Fridays were always a big deal in my family and one of the ways that my mother made Fridays special was to always have Chicken Biryani on the menu. This all encompassing meal in one dish is so flavorful, aromatic and simply irresistible. As you can imagine, I missed this fusion of rice and chicken ever since going Paleo until I figured this out…
