Steps to Prepare Chicken Musakhan

  1. Prepare the Seasoning Mix:
    In a suitable bowl, mix the sumac, lemon juice, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

    Line a suitable baking tray with parchment paper. Place the Arabic bread on the tray, then spread the chicken mixture on top, adding a bit of the broth for extra flavor.

  6. Bake the Dish:
    Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the tray inside and bake until the bread becomes crispy.
