Bucharian Chicken and Herbed rice

Bachsh is a traditional Bukharian dish made with chicken or beef, rice, and green herbs. The aromatic ingredients are cooked one at a time, infusing the rice with layers of flavor. My Bukharian friend gave me this recipe over ten years ago and I have been making it ever since. I usually serve bachsh as a one pot dinner but it can also be used as a side dish on Shabbat.
