Chicken dish with Rice and Saffron Tahdig

Chicken with Rice and Saffron Tahdig is a classic Persian dish that is both delicious and simple to make. It is typically made with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, basmati rice, saffron, and spices.
The chicken and rice are cooked together in a pot, and the saffron gives the dish a beautiful golden color and a delicate flavor.
The tahdig, or crispy rice crust, is the highlight of the dish. It is created by cooking the rice over medium heat until the bottom layer is golden brown and crispy.
