In a bowl, thoroughly mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and spices.
Add the Khair Chicken breasts to the marinade and coat them well. Leave them in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a pot over medium heat, add the oil, then add the drained rice and stir gently for one minute.
Pour in the boiling water and salt. Let the rice boil until it absorbs most of the water and small steam holes appear on the surface.
Cover the pot tightly, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and let it steam-cook for 12–15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet (or grill pan) over medium-high heat.
Place the Khair Chicken pieces in the skillet (avoid constant stirring at first to lock in the juices).
Grill the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and beautifully golden brown.
