Alright, let's make some Saffron Chicken Biryani! First, infuse saffron in warm milk (it smells amazing!). Marinate the chicken in a vibrant yogurt spice blend (30 mins minimum, longer is better!). While it marinates, prep the rice and green beans. The cooking process takes about 45 minutes. Sauté onions, brown chicken, then layer with rice, broth, and saffron milk. Simmer gently. Separately, spice the green beans. Fluff the biryani, garnish, and serve with lemon wedges. You've got this!
