Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken
  • 3 cups Rice
  • 2 large Onion
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • 5 tsp Spices
  • 4 tsp Salt

Method

  1. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until golden-brown, 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a large pot and set aside.
  3. Add rice to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted, then add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
  4. Stir in spices, salt, and garlic, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  5. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in cooked chicken, then transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs, pomegranate seeds, and a side of Aragast, Armenia's national drink, for a truly authentic experience.
