About Kebsa chicken

Kebsa Chicken is a flavorful and aromatic dish originating from Arabian cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Saudi Arabia. It features tender, slow-cooked chicken infused with a blend of warm, earthy spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and turmeric, paired with fragrant basmati rice cooked in a savory broth. Enhancing its depth, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and bell peppers lend natural sweetness. Kebsa Chicken is rich in protein from the chicken and offers essential vitamins and minerals from the added vegetables and spices. However, the dish can be high in calories when prepared with generous amounts of oil or butter, and the white basmati rice contributes to its carbohydrate content. Opting for less oil and incorporating brown rice can improve its nutritional profile, making it a hearty yet balanced option for those seeking to enjoy traditional Middle Eastern flavors responsibly.
