Stir in diced tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes until spices are fragrant.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is partially cooked.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
⏱️ 10 minutes - 11
Place the stuffed chicken on top of the partially cooked rice in the pot. Ensure the chicken is elevated slightly so it doesn't sit directly in the rice.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.
