This is my version of Chicken Kabsa made all in one pot - starting with the topping of Onion, Carrots, Pine Nuts and Raisins.A delicious stock is made to simmer the Chicken in.
Once the Chicken is cooked the luscious sauce is strained and the Chicken is returned to the pan to get some color.
More Onion, whole spices and the strained stock make a fragrant bath for the soaked and drained Basmati Rice. Once the Rice is almost cooked, the topping is layered so the carrot can cook as well.
The Chicken is served on top of a generous helping of the fragrant Rice and topping.
Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!
