Rice & chicken is my family favorite meal. I like to introduce you a world wide food recipes from east to west, and today our recipe is from middle eastit is so delicious and easy to make perfect for family gathering and feast. They called it Kabsa it is a spicy rice with grilled chicken, you can make it in different ways with beef meat, lamb meat or with chicken. I prefer it with chicken because it is more lighter and easier, also i don't like much red meat.

I seasoned my rice with a 7 spices mix, it is a mixture of 1 tsp of each following ground spices: cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, coriander, cloves and curry. Mix all spices together in a small jar and used it to season your rice. I season each cup of rice with 3/4 tsp of 7 spices or you can buy it from arabian stores. Also i seasoned my chicken with the same spices it gives the chicken a tasty spicy taste.

This recipe is perfect with salad and every time i made it, it reminded me with Indian chicken Biryan and oh Namaste i love rice so much especially the spicy as Biryani with garam masala spices. I'll soon share with you Indian or hyder abad Biryani recipe.
