I made this but I fried the chicken a little bit with cinnamon and cumin after boiling it with cinnamon, bayleaf and cardamum. Also I added a little mint to the yoghurt and garnished the dish with fried pine-nuts!

I made this using all the suggestions offered by Omar H and I also spiced the rice with some allspice, a couple of cloves and white pepper. It was very good, simple. and healthy. I liked it very much, Thanks!

Good tasting dish. This is similar to the Lebanese Fatta except it has chicken and rice in it. I boiled the chicken with cinnamon, peppercorn, onions and a bay leaf. Next time I would make the following adjustments: Add one more cup of yogurt, and add some dried mint to the yogurt for extra flavor.
