Sumac Chicken Recipe

This is a moroccan themed lunch made using cous cous and chicken. This is not only easy to make but taste amazing.

About Sumac Chicken Recipe

Couscous is made entirely of semolina. Semolina is the name given to flour made from durum wheat. Durum wheat is a very hard wheat that contains more protein than all-purpose wheat flour. Semolina is a golden yellow flour that gives couscous a
nuttier flavour than all-purpose flour.

Sumac is derived from the Arabic word summaq, which means dark red. It is a crimson red, astringent spice that is commonly used in Middle Eastern cooking. Its made from the berry fruit of the Rhus Coriaria shrub, which was originally grown in the Mediterranean basin before spreading to Europe.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

Ingredients for Couscous With Sumac Chicken & Butter Mushrooms

Couscous

Couscous is a dried and cracked pasta made from semolina that cooks quickly, much like tiny pasta. It has a nutty, sweet flavour that complements stews, braises, and grilled or roasted vegetables.

Sultanas

They have a sweet, tangy, and intense flavour due to their small size and add texture and sweetness to both sweet and savoury dishes. Dried grapes include raisins, sultanas, and currants. Raisins and sultanas have a soft, sweet, and juicy texture, whereas currants have an intense, sweet, and tangy flavor.

Chicken Breast

Chicken breasts are prone to drying out when overcooked, so they should be cooked quickly over high heat. Cooking chicken breasts in a skillet, stir-frying, roasting/baking, or grilling are the best options.
