Chicken Biryani

What is it?

Spiced chicken sits with basmati rice in this frozen meal, cooked with aromatic spices and dried fruit. It’s the sort of biryani that comes together in one tray, so the rice and chicken heat at the same pace. Sainsbury’s keeps the seasoning in the middle ground here, with the fruit bringing little sweet pockets against the savoury grains. Compared with other frozen rice dishes in the range, this one leans more towards layered spice than sauce, with separate grains rather than a soft, mixed-up texture.
