Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until golden brown. Remove half of the onions and set aside for garnishing.
Add the remaining 2 tbsp of vegetable oil to the pot. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast pieces to the pot and cook until they are no longer pink.
Add the chopped tomatoes, plain yogurt, biryani masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the chicken is well coated with the spices.
Add the drained rice to the pot and gently mix with the chicken and spices.
Pour in 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle the garam masala, fresh cilantro, and fresh mint over the top. Gently fluff the rice with a fork.
Garnish with the reserved fried onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your Classic Chicken Biryani!
