  4. Stir in the yogurt, lemon juice, onion, salt and pepper.
  5. Add the chicken and refrigerate, covered, overnight or at least 6 hours.

  7. Pulverize the saffron in a bowl with a wooden spoon, add it to the juice and remove it from the heat.
  8. After 5 minutes, add the butter and gently warm the mixture until it is melted.
