Leftover Chicken Biryani

Leftover Chicken Biryani – I made a roasted chicken for dinner the other day. Served with root vegetables. It was very tasty. But the smallest roaster I could find at the grocery store was 6.5 lbs. That’s a lot of chicken for two people, So we had a lot of leftover chicken.

I thought about how best to eat the leftover chicken without eating the same meal once or twice. What I decided was to make a leftover chicken biryani, which is a rice dish you might see in an Indian or Pakistani restaurant. I’m going to guess they aren’t using leftover roasted chicken.

This Leftover Roast Chicken Biryani is quick, and easy and is made in just one pot, and can be on your table in under 30 minutes. It’s a great way to use up leftover roasted chicken or even a rotisserie chicken. I’ll bet this recipe is something that would work with leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

Chicken biryani is a popular and flavorful dish that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is a one-pot rice dish made with aromatic basmati rice, tender chicken pieces, and a blend of spices. Biryani is known for its rich taste and enticing aroma, and there are numerous regional variations of this dish.
