Dairy Free Saffron Chicken

Saffron Chicken is one of our favourite meals of all time, and intended to be dairy free so there are no substitutions to make. It’s always great to have a meal that is a bit of a one pot wonder – this time the chicken and rice cook together to create a lovely dish with a hint of spice from the Smoked Paprika.  A few green vegetable on the side and you’re away.  We really like rice, so there is quite a lot in this dish!  It really is a combination of our saffron pilaf, with roast chicken, but with the chicken cooking on the top of the rice it adds a depth of flavour to the rice.

Saffron Chicken Pilaf

One of our favourite meals, chicken thighs roasting on top of saffron pilaf makes a tasty and easy meal. Pop it in the oven at 180°C 360°F for 40 minutes and you're done.

Ingredients
  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 750ml chicken stock
  • 600g Basmati Rice
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 200g stoned green olives
  • 1 tsp Saffron crumbled up and soaked in 4 tbsp of water
  • 1 chopped onion
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C 360°F
Step 2
Heat a frying pan with a bit of oil and brown the chicken pieces. You’ll need to fry them 4 at a time depending on the size of your pan. This takes a bit of time as you want them brown on both sides. When browned put them to one side
Step 3
Pop the onion into the pan when you’ve finished with the chicken and fry the onions in the chicken fat and put to one side
Step 4
Heat a large casserole dish on the stove top with a bit of olive oil in it. Add in the rice, onions, paprika, and cumin. Stir to cover the rice with all the spices, the rice will go transparent. Season with a couple of grinds of pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt
Step 5
Mix the saffron into the chicken stock and add to the rice, give it a quick stir, you can also deglaze the frying pan with a bit of stock and add this to the dish for a bit of extra flavour
Step 6
Place the chicken on top in a single layer, and put in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. I check the dish at about the 30 minute mark and fluff a bit of the top rice.
