Mousakhan Chicken Rolls Ingredients

Method

Mousakhan Chicken Rolls Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the chicken thighs. Season with sumac, salt, and pepper. Add the cinnamon stick and pour in the chicken broth. Cover and let cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix it with the caramelized onions. Remove the cinnamon stick.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sumac Labneh Dip

    In a bowl, mix the plain yogurt with lemon juice and a sprinkle of sumac. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Rolls

    Take a piece of saj bread, add a generous amount of the chicken and onion mixture, and roll it up. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Mousakhan Chicken Rolls warm with a side of sumac labneh dip.
