Let’s begin: How to make Chicken Biryani with steps by steps photos-

In a pan combine water, salt, cinnamon stick, and cardamon.
Cover the pan and let the water boil.

Now add the washed basmati rice and stir them.

Let them cook until rice is 75% done. It will take only 7 to 8 minutes on high flame.

Turn off the flame and drain the rice from the water.

Wash and cut the chicken into small cubes. (I used boneless chicken breast, but it can be used either chicken breast or thigh with bone or boneless)
Add all spices turmeric powder, red chili powder, ginger, garlic paste, biryani masala, salt, and oil.

Mix all spices with chicken very well. No need to marinate the chicken.

In a pan heat, 1 tbsp of butter then add the chicken.
Give it a stir and let them cook on medium heat.

In approx. 5 minutes, you will see the chicken start separating the water.
Keep stirring them until water dried out from the chicken. It will take 5 minutes.

Now it’s time to combine them both chicken and cooked rice.
First, keep the flame very low and spread the chicken all over the pan.

Now spread half of the rice on the top of chicken.

Spread the fried onion, milk, biryani masala, and butter.

Now do the same process again, which we did before like spread rice first then fried onion, milk, butter, and biryani masala on the top of the first layer.
