👨🍳 Instrucciones

In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of sumac, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and very soft, about 20-25 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sumac and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet with the onions. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
While the chicken cooks, lightly toast the taboon bread on both sides in a dry skillet or under a broiler until slightly crisp. Brush lightly with olive oil.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
To assemble the rolls, spread a layer of the chicken and onion mixture onto each piece of taboon bread. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts.

Arrange the rolls on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of sumac if desired. Serve warm.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Serve with a side of yogurt or a simple salad.
💡 Consejos de Profesional
- ✓For a more traditional presentation, serve the chicken and onion mixture over whole pieces of taboon bread, then sprinkle with pine nuts and parsley.
- ✓If you can't find taboon bread, use large, thin flatbreads like lavash or saj. If using store-bought flatbread, warm it slightly before serving.
- ✓The key to authentic Musakhan is the generous use of sumac and good quality olive oil.
