Chicken Borani is a delicious appetizer that you can prepare quickly and easily for any party or special occasion.
½ chicken breast
1 onion
2 cups strained yogurt
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons dried aromatic herbs
Walnuts, as needed
Saffron, as needed
Salt, black pepper, bay leaf, as needed
Cook the chicken: Start by peeling and quartering the onion. Place it in a pot along with the chicken breast, spices, bay leaf, and salt. Add enough water to cover and cook until the chicken is tender. Once cooked, remove from the pot and shred or chop the chicken. Tip: If you’re in a hurry, use a pressure cooker to speed up the process.
Prepare the mixture: Allow the chicken to cool slightly. Peel and finely grate the garlic. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, strained yogurt, dried herbs, garlic, and seasoning.
Add walnuts: Chop the walnuts and mix them into the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve: Remove from the fridge, garnish with a little brewed saffron, walnuts, and mint leaves, and serve alongside your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
Aromatic herbs can include any herbs you like, such as cilantro, basil, parsley, etc.
If fresh herbs are unavailable, dried herbs work well too.
Don’t skip the garlic – it’s essential for flavor.
Save any leftover chicken broth by freezing it in ice cube trays for future use as chicken stock.
You can divide the Borani into two portions – one with saffron and one plain – depending on your preference.
Garlic can be adjusted to taste, or you can use garlic powder instead.
