It's pretty amazing how easy this one pot recipe is. Considering that Sam and I put it together without too much trouble, I know you can too.
Chicken Machboos (or Majboos) is the National Dish of Bahrain, but it is also found in many other Arabic countries around the Persian Gulf, including Qatar, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait where it is known by the name "kabsa."
It's essentially a rice dish that is cooked in chicken broth and vegetables and served with a spiced chicken that has been cooked in the same pot.
The secret ingredients are a special spice blend called Baharat, which is usually made up of cinnamon, cumin, coriander, paprika, black peppercorns, cardamom, nutmeg, and cloves. And the addition of the magical mystical dried black limes, known as loomi. They add a fragrant sour note that is distinct and unbeatable.
Sam was hesitant to try the exotic chicken at first but once he gave in, his world was forever changed.
