Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot and in it over medium heat, cook onions until softened.

Step 2

Add chicken and pan fry, flipping when lightly-browned.

Step 3

Add all spices and seasonings to the pot and toast until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes and the rice to the pot and cover with the water.

Step 5

Bring the water to a slow simmer, covering the pot with a lid.

Step 6

Once at a slow simmer, give the rice and the rest of the ingredients a quick stir every 5 minutes until the rice is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Cover the pot with a lid between each stir.

Step 7

Once the water is all absorbed, stop stirring further. Bring the ingredients to the center from the sides to make a dome. Cook on low for 15 minutes.
