Add green chilies, chopped mint, and coriander leaves; mix well.

Rinse basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot and gently stir to combine with chicken.

Pour in water and season with salt; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Turn off heat and let the pulao rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Fluff the rice gently with a fork and garnish with additional herbs.
