Chicken Musakhan

Dinner decisions, handled: Chicken Musakhan pairs chicken thighs with sumac for a 60-minute Middle Eastern dinner. Each serving lands at 700 calories with 48g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup Sumac
• 3 large Onions
• 1/3 cup Olive oil
• 4 Flatbread
• 2 tbsp Pine nuts
• 1 tsp Allspice
• 3 cloves Garlic

Steps

1. Rub the chicken with half the sumac, the allspice, minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons of salt; rest 20 minutes.
2. Soften the thinly sliced onions in the olive oil over medium-low heat, 20 minutes, until jammy and sweet — do not brown them.
3. Sear the chicken in the oniony oil until golden, then nestle it back in and roast at 400°F for 25 minutes.
4. Toast the flatbreads directly on the oven rack 3 minutes until crisp at the edges.
5. Lay each flatbread on a plate and drown it in the sumac onions and their oil — the bread drinking the oil is the dish.
6. Crown with the chicken, shower with the remaining sumac and pine nuts, and serve with lemon.
