Steps

30 minutes

1

Wash and cut the chicken. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and marinate the chicken. Wash the rice, then melt the clarified butter or butter in a pot. Add the whole spices (not the powdered ones so they don't burn), stir for a minute, then add the rice.
2

Add the powdered spices to the rice, stir, then add the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat so the rice absorbs the water and cooks. Meanwhile, start cooking the chicken. Do not stir; let it brown on one side first. Cut the pita bread into cubes.
3

Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until golden. Check the rice; once cooked, turn off the heat. Flip the chicken and continue cooking until almost done, then add the bell peppers, stir, and turn off the heat.
4

Mix all the sauce ingredients together and thin with water to your desired consistency. To assemble: arrange the rice and bread around the edges of the plate, place the chicken on top of the rice or between the rice and bread, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with dried parsley if desired. Enjoy! This method and the other one are both really delicious! 😋
