Ingredient

450 gms

Zorabian Chicken Breast Boneless

1 cup

Green Bell Pepper (Chopped into small Cubes)

6 cloves

Dried Lemons/Fresh Lemon Juice

1/2 tsp

Paprika Powder/ Cayenne Pepper

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash the basmati rice well until water runs clear and soak in water for 30 minutes. After the set time, drain away the water and set aside.

* Step 2

In a large heavy bottomed pan, add oil and butter. Once it is heated, add the finely chopped garlic and saute for few seconds.

* Step 3

Add the sliced onions and saute until golden brown in color.

* Step 4

Add the boneless chicken pieces to the fried onions and fry for a minute, flipping over.

* Step 5

Add the whole spices ie. green cardamoms, cloves, cinnamon stick and bay leaves.

* Step 6

Add the powdered spices ie. turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, curry powder or cajun spice, kashmiri red chilli powder, black pepper powder and salt to taste. Mix well and saute for two minutes.

* Step 7

Add the green bell peppers, dried lemons or lemon juice and the finely chopped tomatoes and mix well. (Didn't have dried lemons so baked the lemons in oven and used it).

* Step 8

Add the tomato puree/paste and the crushed maggi soup cube. (This will help to increase the taste of the dish).

* Step 9

Add two cups of water and mix it well. Check for salt. Cover and cook on high flame for about 8 to 10 minutes. Now the chicken is well cooked.

* Step 10

Remove the cooked chicken pieces and set aside. The stock is now ready. Add the soaked rice into the stock and mix well. Check the water accordingly. Water should cover the rice. Cover and cook on low flame for about 12 minutes or until rice is cooked.

* Step 11

In the meantime, as the rice is cooking, place the cooked chicken pieces on a baking tray which is lined with greased aluminium foil. When the chicken is boiled in the stock, the stock becomes flavorful but it has reduced the flavor of the chicken. So in order to make the chicken more flavorful, spray oil on the chicken pieces and sprinkle with black pepper powder and Cayenne Pepper (Hot and Spicy Chilli Powder) or Kashmiri Chilli Paprika.

* Step 12

Bake at 180° for few minutes. Make cuts in chicken. Apply some butter and again bake for few minutes or until chicken is lightly charred.

* Step 13

For the sauce to be served alongwith the rice, in an electric chopper, add the chopped tomatoes, green chillies, garlic, tomato puree, coriander leaves and salt and chop it. It should not be ground into a paste. (You can also add half an onion, lemon juice and olive oil). Add little water to get a right consistency. Mix well. Sauce is ready to be served alongwith the rice and chicken. Transfer it into a bowl.

* Step 14

After 12 minutes when the rice is done, off the flame and keep covered for 5 minutes. Later on fluff it up with a fork and immediately transfer to a serving plate.

* Step 15

Super Delicious Arabian Chicken Kabsa is ready. Serve it hot with the baked chicken pieces alongwith the prepared sauce. This dish taste lovely with the sauce.
