PERSIAN STYLE CHICKEN AND RICE
This isn't actually a Persian recipe, but it is inspired by Persian dishes i have had in the past.... It's very easy to prepare and its great for summertime, or as a side dish for a nice lamb tagine. Very important - must use real saffron, not imitation! You can use less or more butter if you like, depending on how you like the taste (or how worried you are about the waistline!!!)

SERRESH POLLO (PERSIAN CHICKEN AND RICE WITH FRIED ONIONS, RAISI
This was my introduction to persian cuisine. My DH's first wife is Iranian, and she taught him Persian cooking. He can make several awesome dishes, but this was the first he made after moving i with me, and it still is one of my favourites. It's easy and quick to make, too. Barberries are available in oriental groceries. They are very tart and balance the sweet raisins perfectly. It's not exactly calorie friendly, but worth every bite. Serve with green salad.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- On low heat, melt 2 ounces of the butter, add salt and pepper to taste and baste chicken thighs with molten butter.
- Bake thighs at 400 degrees F for about 45 minutes.
- While thighs are baking, prepare basmati rice.
- Some minutes before the thighs are done, slice onions and fry in remaining butter (I know, it's a LOT of butter, but that's correct).
- As soon as onions are translucent, salt to taste, then add raisins, heat through (don't let the mixture burn!), then add barberries, turn off heat and let stand until barberries are warmed, too.
- Place chicken thighs and rice on plates, top rice with onion-raisin-barberry mixture.
- Serve with green salad.
- Enjoy!
PERSIAN CHICKEN AND RICE
Posted for ZWT 6. This actually comes from the small Middle Eastern country of Oman. As for cutting the dried apricots, I suggest using kitchen scissors or shears dusted with flour. It makes them much easier to cut.

PERSIAN CHICKEN STUFFED WITH RICE
The rice stuffing is very simple to make and turns out beautifully! If barberries are not available, chopped fresh cranberries or sour cherries are a good substitution. Preparation time does not include marinating time. Adapted from Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen" by Najmieh Batmanglij.

IRANIAN CHICKEN WITH RICE (MORGH POLOU)
This is a typical Iranian recipe using fruit with a meat or chicken. The saffron gives it a golden color and the scent while it is cooking is wonderful. It is not "spicy hot" but it is "spicy flavorful". There is a special way to cook Iranian rice but I have simplified this recipe using plain cooked rice - I prefer Basmati Rice I made this recipe using skinless boneless breasts - they turned out too dry I recommend that you use the whole chicken, skin on for this recipe
