My way Khabsah Rice:

Browning my onion and garlic in olive oil. Add tomatoes, tomatoe paste, and chicken and just cook them together for a bit. Then  add my spices and for it to be a traditional Khabsah. Added my water, and that all depends on how many I am cooking for.  Also  cubed carrots in mine.
I boil it all together until the 3/4 chicken is cooked. Then I remove the chicken and the carrots and place them in a buttered glass baking dish, and the butter really adds flavor so I put it on the dish pretty thick.
Sliced tomatoes and sliced onions and cover the chicken and tomatoes with them and put it into oven covered with alluminum foil for about 45 mins. Then I remove the cover and let everything brown.
While chicken is cooking in the oven I bring the water back to a boil and add my rice, let it boil for about a minute, and then i reduce the heat and cover until the rice is fluffy. Then I serve the rice on a huge platter with the chicken on top.

Served with cucumber and yoghurt salad with garlic and lemon to eat with the Khabsah rice. It's delicious!!
