    sea salt
    fresh ground pepper
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    Rice
    1 1/2 cups white basmati rice
    3 cups chicken stock (I use just a little less for what I find perfect rice)
    1/4 teaspoon middle eastern mixed spice (Baharat Aka Middle East Mixed Spices - the Real Mix)
    1/4 teaspoon kabsa spices (Saudi Kabsa Spice Mix)
    1 pinch turmeric
    salt
    Daqous (Spiced Tomato Sauce)

    salt
    fresh ground pepper
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1/4 teaspoon middle eastern mixed spice (Baharat Aka Middle East Mixed Spices - the Real Mix)
    1 pinch ground cumin
    1 teaspoon tahini
    4 garlic cloves, crushed
    chicken stock, if needed (or water)
Preparation
    Season chicken breasts with olive oil, salt and pepper, cook over high heat, turning when golden.
    Rince basmati rice well and soak in cold water for 20 minutes.
    Drain.
    In a deep pan add all ingredients under rice heading, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered on low for 14-20 minutes until done.
    For the sauce stir all the ingredients under daqous heading in a medium pot.
    Simmer until well combined over low heat adding additional liquid if needed.
    Serve chicken breast alongside basmati rice with Daqous & a green salad.
    Enjoy.
