I've made this at least a half a dozen times and I always get the best compliments on it! It's so simple; though spices like cardamom are not the cheapest (but worth every penny). I never bother with the food coloring. I made this with risotto as a side dish last night for company and they practically inhaled it. I typically use chicken tenderloins for this dish as well.

I thought this had nice flavor. Not so great as a day old left over as the chicken looses the juice.
