2026 Winter (February-March) COTM / Cookbook of the Month + COOKING FROM thread – DIANA HENRY

CHICKEN MUSAKHAN

This is a recipe from Falastin / Sami Tamimi, remade by DH for The Telegraph.

I didn’t get around to making pita as I had planned to due to a hand injury, but I had pita chips, so I made this stovetop and saucy so the pita chips could absorb the liquid to soften up.

Onions make this dish, along with sumac. I love the flavors of musakhan / m’sakhan; this one had more ground spices than my usual recipe, no garlic, and less sumac. Not sure I’d make this version again vs. the other, but it was tasty enough. (Or I’d adjust it to add garlic and more sumac.)
