Step 1
Steep saffron in 2 tbsp hot water for 2 minutes until fragrant and the water turns golden.
Step 2
Whisk yogurt, eggs, and saffron water together. Fold in cooked chicken and rice gently until combined.
Step 3
Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Pour rice mixture into skillet and smooth the top. Cook 5 minutes without stirring until the bottom starts to brown.
Step 5
Cover skillet loosely with foil. Reduce heat to medium and cook 12 minutes until the edges pull from the pan.
Step 6
Run a spatula around the edges and invert onto a plate so the crispy golden bottom is now on top. Serve hot.
