Chicken
Onions
Pita bread
Olive oil
Spices
Lemon Juice
This is a general approach since the number of people you are serving will vary. Also, there is no need for precision.
Soak the amount of chicken you intend to use in lightly salted milk, buttermilk, or water for a few hours. Halves or quarters work well and keeps chicken moist.
Drain the chicken, but there is no need to dry it.
Rub the chicken with lemon juice, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, all spice, sumac, garlic powder and anything else your taste desires. Allow seasoned chicken to rest for at least an hour to achieve enhanced flavor.
Have enough slices onions to cover the chicken liberally. It would be difficult to have too many.
Sprinkle pine nuts or slivered almonds in and on the onions.
Open pita bread loaves and cover the bottom of a baking dish.
Places the chicken on the bread and cover it with about ¾ inch of slices onions.
Pour a GENEROUS amount of olive oil over the dish.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees until the thickest pieces reach 190 degrees.
Suggest that you serve this dish with rice and salad

Ah, Olive Oil, a man after my own heart. This sounds scrumptious (one of my favorite words).
ReplyDeletePita is awsome and no fat! Whole wheat and you have low glycemic also. Very healthy. A girl could cook this dish and really glister for her guests. I have been trying to work glister into a sentence for minutes now ever since I ran into it looking up the spelling for glycemic.
