How to Prepare Chicken Ablama with White Rice:

Chicken Ablama with White Rice


  1. In a pot over medium heat, add some oil and fry the pine nuts and almonds until golden brown, then set them aside.

  2. In the same pot, add a little ghee and fry the small onions until they turn golden. Remove the onions and set them aside.

  3. In a bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cut the chicken thighs and coat them in the flour mixture.

  4. Using the same pot, add more ghee if needed and fry the chicken pieces until they are lightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

  5. In the same pot, add the remaining flour and ghee, stirring well. Gradually add chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps.

  6. Return the chicken and onions to the pot, add the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel. Cover the pot and let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked.

  7. Once the chicken is cooked, add lemon juice and let the flavors blend for a few more minutes before turning off the heat.

How to Prepare the Rice:

  1. In a pot, heat some oil and fry the vermicelli until golden brown.

  2. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot, stirring it with the vermicelli and oil.

  3. Add salt, water, and lemon peel. Once the water starts boiling, cover the pot and let the rice cook until tender.

Now, the delicious Chicken Ablama with its flavorful sauce and white rice is ready to serve. Present it in a deep serving dish and sprinkle the fried nuts on top.

This dish smells fantastic and tastes incredible! I highly recommend trying it—enjoy your meal!
