Easy Iftar Recipes: Middle Eastern Chicken & Rice
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 3/4 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
- 1 cup basmati rice, uncooked
- 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add in garlic and the ground beef along with the cinnamon, and pepper. Cook until the beef is evenly browned.
- Then add in the chicken stock, season with salt and add in the chicken breasts. Cover the skillet and cook for about 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
- Remove the chicken and shred. Return to the pan and mix in the rice. Cover the skillet again and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid. Add more salt if required.
- While the rice is cooking, lightly toast the almonds in a pan. Stir often, making sure they do not burn.
- Once the rice is ready, garnish with pine nuts and serve.
