Namaste! Join Alessia Bianchi in her kitchen as she shares her recipe for delectable Air Fryer Biryani. With its fragrant spices and tender chicken, this biryani is sure to be a hit at your dinner table.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoon biryani spice blend
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss to coat the chicken with the oil.
  3. Place the chicken cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket.
  4. Cook the chicken cubes for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are cooked through and caramelized.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and ginger and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the biryani spice blend and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Stir in the rice, chicken broth, and peas and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  8. Once the rice is cooked, remove the chicken cubes from the air fryer and add them to the saucepan with the rice. Stir to combine the chicken and rice.
  9. Transfer the biryani to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the biryani is hot and bubbly.
  10. Serve the biryani hot, garnished with cilantro. Enjoy!
