Blue Apron ~ Persian-Style Chicken and Crispy Rice

I was really looking forward to tonight's dinner of Persian-style chicken and crispy rice with summer squash, currants and lemon yogurt.  I was not disappointed.  This dish has so many textures and flavors and is so delicious.  

The chicken was sautéed in a Persian Spice Mix.  Then the squash and onions were sautéed.  This was added to the chicken as well as chopped almonds.

While the chicken was cooking, I prepared the rice.  After all the water had absorbed, half of the rice was placed on a cooking sheet and baked until dry and crispy.  Then all the rice was combined, along with the currants, which had been marinated in lemon juice.  I didn't have currants, so used raisins instead.

The dish was topped with yogurt.  Delicious!
