  • basmati rice – 300 gr
  • chicken breast cut into small pieces – 500 gr
  • the rind of an orange

How to Prepare Bergamot Red Tea Chicken

Grate the orange and lemon peels, prepare the tea with 1 glass of water and scent it with the grated peels. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, flour them and sauté in a pan with a little oil. Deglaze with the red bergamot tea, season with salt and pepper to taste.

In the meantime, cook the basmati rice using the absorption method: place two cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil (add a little water). Add the rice and a pinch of salt, cover and cook until all the water has been absorbed (about 10 minutes).

Season the rice with chives, parsley and a little pepper and serve along with the chicken.
