    😋 A recipe from Palestine

    This ultra-tender , juicy chicken, baked with spices and oil, is a real delight! To accompany it, a carrot salad with honey vinaigrette, but you can accompany it with whatever you like/want.

    A classic of Levantine street-food, Musakhan is ideal for an on-the-go lunch and is eaten much like a sandwich.

    Musakhan up close: pita bread topped with Musakhan chicken, onions and almonds.

    💙 Why you'll love this recipe

    • It allows you to travel to little-known regions such as Palestine.
    • It's super easy to make
    • It's perfect for a quick dinner or a no-fuss lunch.

    🥕 What ingredients do you need?

    Here are the ingredients you'll need to prepare this recipe. Quantities can be found in the recipe card at the end of this article.

    • Almonds: I recommend you buy some already peeled, as they're much easier to use.
    • A lemon
    • Chicken thighs: I recommend buying boneless chicken thighs.
    • Zaatar: a blend of sumac, roasted sesame, thyme and oregano
    • Yellow onions
    • A bird's eye pepper: be sure to wash your hands after using it, as it can irritate the skin.
    • Pita bread: to enjoy the chicken and onions. Otherwise, you can replace them with whatever you have on hand: naan, or other bread...
    • To serve with: carrots, honey, vinegar and olive oil
    • Optional Fresh coriander and pine nuts

    😇 Storage

    This recipe will keep for 2 to 3 days.
