Place a layer of rice in the bottom of the saucepan and arrange half the onions on top. Arrange the chicken pieces on top. Layer potatoes, remaining onions, lentils and rice on top of the chicken.

Sprinkle saffron on top. Dot with butter and pour the water over.

Cover and cook on high heat for 5 minutes, then lower heat and simmer slowly for 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked.
