Tahchin

This next dish is great to make for a household or party of at least 4 or more.  It is a chicken and rice dish that is baked in the oven.  Chicken is sauteed separately with spices, barberries are optional.  In a separate bowl, cooked rice is mixed with yogurt, raw eggs and saffron.  The chicken is layered in between two layers of rice and placed in the oven until the outside is perfectly crispy. The end result is a cakey, saffron and butter flavored rice with delicious chicken in the center.  But the best part is the crunchy outer layer.  In order to get this crunchy outside layer, you must make sure to generously grease your oven dish.  Unfortunately it is the type of food that no matter how much you eat, you don’t get full! Either that or it’s just so good you don’t want to stop. After 4 servings, I coulda kept going…
