Instructions: In a large frying pan set over medium-high heat, melt butter. Lightly sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Whisk biryani with wine until fairly well blended. Pour over chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until chicken feels springy, about 4 minutes per side.

Remove chicken to a platter. Loosely cover to keep warm. Then increase heat to high and boil sauce until reduced to approximately 3 tablespoons (45 mL), about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream, if using. Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve with basmati rice and stir-fried crunchy vegetables.

NOTES : If you love fragrant Indian dishes, youll treasure the flavour of this easy take on an authentic dish.

Classic Biryani: Biryani is an authentic Indian dish that combines highly seasoned rice with meat, fish or poultry. However, modern cooks have adapted it to make vegetarian meals as well. It contains a mixture of spices that can include cinnamon, cumin, coriander, cloves, cardamom, saffron and ginger. The most classic of all biryani dishes - chicken biryani - was introduced to India by the Moguls to celebrate
*led*, the feast that marks the end of the Muslim fast called Ramadan. As a result, biryani dishes have become associated with special occasions and celebrations.
