Squeeze the juice of the whole lemon over the chicken and let it marinate briefly.

In a pot, combine the precooked basmati rice with the coconut milk, saffron, and water (with salt mixed in one cup).

Bring the rice mixture to a simmer and cook until heated through.

Transfer the seasoned chicken to a baking dish and pour the rice mixture around it.

Cover and bake for about 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
