Directions
Chicken Majbouz, I’d gotten this recipe years back from a Gulf magazine, but kind of modified it The authentic majbouz flavour requires something called loomi which is a sort of dried black lemon found in the Middle East instead of lemon juice, but the site doesnt recognize the ingredient, so not written under ingredients But if you do manage to get it, DO use it(2tsp of powdered loomi in place of lemon juice) as its one of THE major ingredient Serve it with lots of salads, different varities such as tabbouleh, fattoush, lettuce leaves , This was delicious! used frozen boneless skinless thighs, so I lightly sauted the onions, garlic, and spices and then topped the frozen chicken with the fragrant mixture and baked it in a covered glass pan for an hour Then I added a cup of rice (the frozen chicken made enough juice while it baked that no additional liquid was needed, ) and let it bake for another 20 minutes I had a lot of leftover rice, so think I will halve the amount in the future It was really simple, and I think it would also work nicely in a crock pot if you wait to add the rice in until the end 🙂
