Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

water
sea salt, to taste
1 lb chicken piece (breast, legs, wings, whatever you want)
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups basmati rice (soaked)
khaliji mixed spice (Gulf Spices (Ibzar), I use a mix of that and Baharat Aka Middle East Mixed Spices - the Real Mix)
1 cinnamon stick
3 -4 partially open cardamom pods
1 teaspoon turmeric
chicken broth or water

Steps:

  • Half cook rice using straining method - basically you just fill the pot with water and salt to taste, bring to the boil, add rice (rice has to be MUCH less than water) and cook until rice starts floating (thats when you know its half cooked but taste rice to make sure). When your done strain rice.
  • In the meantime, heat oil in a saucepan/pot. Rub chicken pieces with spices and add to pot (note: if pieces are large then cut slits in chicken and rub spices inside and under skin if the skin is on).
  • Add onions & whole spices.
  • Fry until onions are soft.
  • Add rice & turmeric and add a little broth over the rice, mix up somewhat.
  • Cover and reduce heat to medium- low - cook for around 45 minutes. Note: put a paper towel between cover and pot so that it absorbs the extra water.
  • Enjoy!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I needed to use up, and this dish was the perfect solution.

I'm on a keto diet, so I made this dish with cauliflower rice and low-carb vegetables. It turned out great! I was able to stay on track with my diet and still enjoy a delicious meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with tofu instead of chicken. It was delicious! I would definitely recommend this dish to other vegetarians.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the rice and chicken, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I love the versatility of this dish. You can use different types of chicken, rice, and vegetables. I've even made it with shrimp instead of chicken.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I really enjoyed this dish. The flavors were very well-balanced, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This dish is very similar to a traditional Bahraini dish called machboos. I would recommend trying machboos if you're looking for a more authentic Bahraini experience.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have used the wrong type of rice.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was very good. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken or cooking it for a shorter amount of time.
