Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear 5 minutes per side until golden. Remove to a plate.
Step 2
Add remaining butter to the same skillet, then stir in rice, barberries, and saffron. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until rice is fragrant.
Step 3
Pour in broth, nestle the chicken back into the rice, and cover with a lid or foil.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low and simmer 12 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Do not stir.
Step 5
Remove from heat and let rest 2 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork. Slice chicken and serve alongside the rice.
