Try this Lebanese Chicken Recipe for a easy meal that everyone loves. Eat with veggies and rice for a complete meal.

I’ve been making versions of this Lebanese Chicken Recipe for years. Sometimes I make it with pasta, or just extra potatoes. I made this recipe with chicken and veggies over rice – it was so tasty.

This recipe was give to me by a friend when we visited her in Eygpt. She learned it from a Lebanese neighbor… so I think it’s authentic. The spices and flavors mix together so well for a delicious, yet simple meal.

Gather all your gorgeous fresh veggies and rice. You can use white or brown, I usually try to use a mix of both. I thinly slice the peppers, chop the onions, slice the zucchini, then cut those slices in half. The tomatoes I just chop up and the potatoes you want to cut into thin-small bite size pieces. {you also want them small enough that they will cook quickly}

Place the chopped veggies in the pan, cover with the sauce, then place the chicken on top. Cover with a lid or foil to bake – it keeps all the moisture inside the dish. {see the recipe card below for all the details!}
