Fo FaBaked Rice, Chicken and Mushrooms (American biryani)
Was going through some old saved magazine recipe clippings, and ran across this one called American Biryani. Thought I would try it. It's pretty good. Can't wait to try it with sage and rosemary! It takes awhile but it's worth the time and effort. This recipe as is makes quite a bit, my dutch oven was about 2/3 full, I just don't recall if it is a 5 or 6 quart pot. I'm doing a half recipe next time. You shouldn't be limited to chicken, I see no reason why any meat would not work, but whatever meat you use, leave some fat on it, as the fat truly does add flavor.

Another nice garnish is to saute some sliced mushrooms while waiting for the last 10 minutes, in butter, and serve them on top.
