Chciken with saffron and tarragon

[ahmward]

This recipe was given to me by a friend. It's a great dish for company.

Chicken with Saffron Tarragon Rice

4-6 chicken thighs 3 points each skinned

4 teaspoons olive oil 1 point for each

minced garlic 0 points

1 cup basmati rice 3 points for ź cooked

1 teaspoon each saffron threads* and tarragon 0 points

salt and pepper 0 points

1 can diced tomatoes 0 points

2 cups chicken broth 0 points

Skin the thighs and cut off visible fat.

Heat the olive oil in an oven proof dish and brown the thighs on both
sides. Put the minced garlic on the chicken to add to the flavor.

This takes about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a dish.

Add the basmati rice and mix it with the remaining garlic/oil until it
is opaque. Add the tomatoes, saffron, tarragon, salt and pepper and
chicken broth. This will get the browed bits from the bottom of the pan
loosened and mixed with the rest. Bring to a boil.

Add the chicken to the rice mixture. Cover and heat in a 450 degree
oven until the broth is dissolved, approximately 20-25 minutes. You can
probably also cook this on top of the stove just as you cook rice in
broth. Make sure not to burn the rice.

7 points per serving Add 3 for each additional chicken thigh

*Inexpensive saffron can be found at Trader Joe's but you can also
substitute other fresh or dry herbs.
