Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large oven-safe deep pan or Dutch oven, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange the sliced tomatoes and red onion on the bottom, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables.

In a separate bowl, combine the rinsed basmati rice, baharat, sumac, cumin, black pepper, tomato paste, minced garlic, date syrup, and 4 cups of boiling water. Stir well to create the sauce.

Pour the rice and sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the pan. Ensure the rice is mostly submerged.

Cover the pan tightly with a layer of wet parchment paper, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. This traps the steam and ensures even cooking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Remove the parchment paper and aluminum foil. Transfer the pan to the broiler for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and the top layer of rice is slightly crispy.
