Place in the fridge to marinate for 4 hours.
- Roast the chicken breasts in a preheated oven at 190 degrees, for 10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Heat the pan with oil (40 g) and ghee (20 g), before sautéing the onion (87 g) and garlic (20 g) until the onions are translucent.

Add the water and let the dish simmer until cooked. Taste for seasoning.
- Heat a pot with oil (30 g) and ghee (40 g), and sauté the onion (85 g), cinnamon (4 g), and dry lemon mix (8 g).
- Add the spice mix (20 g chopped coriander leaves, 8 g salt, 3 g ibzar spice, 2 g turmeric powder and 2 g whole cardamom) and stir. Then add the capsicum mix (170 g) and water (800 ml), bringing it to boil before pouring in the rice (500 g).
- Let the dish simmer to reduce the water, and then cover and leave to sit for 15 minutes.
- The Machbous sauce should be served underneath the rice.
