DIRECTIONS:
STEP 1
Do NOT Marinate! Start by slicing the boneless chicken breasts into 2 inch dice pieces. Place it in a wide bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of Tahoon - Baharat Mix Spice - to your preference - and mix it together.
STEP 2
Peel and cut the onion into 4 pieces. Put it in the food mixer/food processor; mix it until it turns into a liquid. Pour it over the diced chicken and mix.
STEP 3
Put 1 tsp. butter into a nonstick pot. Place the pot on the stove and set it at medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the chicken and cook by stirring and mixing it all together for a few seconds, then cover the pot until the onion starts to get a yellow color.
STEP 4
Remove the lid and add 3 cups of water. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and add ¼ (quarter) tsp. salt - or to your preference - and stir. Put the lid back on and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the chicken is tender.
STEP 5
While waiting for the chicken to cook, start preparing the rice. Place the rice into a fine mesh strainer and rinse with cold (tap) water. Wash the rice for about 20 seconds until the water turns clear. This will help get rid of the dusty starch and prevent the rice from being too sticky.
STEP 6
Take out the cooked chicken pieces, put it in a plate and set aside. Continue to cook the remaining sauce in the pot under low heat and add 1 ¼ (one and quarter) tsp. Tahoon - Kidra Yellow Rice Spice (Saffron Rice Spice) - or to your preference - to the sauce and mix for 1 minute.
PREPARE THE RICE
STEP 7
Always check the instructions on the packaging to see the recommended amount of water for the type of rice you’ll be cooking but for this recipe we will be using the chicken sauce instead water.
White Basmati Rice: for 1 cup (6 oz.) of rice, adds 2 cups of the chicken sauce.
White Long Grain Rice: for 1 cup (6 oz.) of rice adds 1 ½ (one and half) cup of the chicken sauce.
If you are using the white basmati rice, you may place 1 cup of rice directly into the pot.
If you are using the white long grain rice, take 1 ½ (one and half) cup from the chicken sauce and put it in a bowl. Remove the excess sauce then add the chicken sauce to the pot and add 1 cup of the white long grain rice.
Add ¼ (quarter) tsp. salt - or to your preference - to the chicken sauce and add more if needed. You may now add the rice and stir.
Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat.
Do NOT take off the lid! Keeping the steam inside the pot is important to make sure the rice will be cooked thoroughly.
After 18 minutes, check the rice and see if it needs more cooking. You may continue to cook it for another minute or two then turn off the stove.
STEP 8
While waiting for the rice to cook, place the cooked chicken pieces in a nonstick cooking pan, add a pinch of the Tahoon - Baharat Mix Spice - to your preference - and then add ½ (half) tsp. butter - or to your preference. Place the pan on the stove and put it on medium heat and start stirring the chicken with butter until golden.
