Instructions
Spiced Chicken Broth
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Pat the chicken thighs dry using a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and place the chicken on the melted butter in the pot. Add the onions on top and allow the chicken to sear for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Flip the chicken over and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Add the spices, bay leaves and cinnamon stick on top of the chicken and onions. Cover everything with 6 cups of water, bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes. Skim any fat that rises to the top and add the drained chickpeas. Cook for 15 more minutes.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the cooked broth, shred it using your hands or two forks, then return to the pot.
Moghabrieh
- Heat the butter in a medium pot. Add the dry moghrabieh and season salt and caraway. Cover with 3 cups of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- Serve the moghrabieh warm with a couple ladles of the chicken broth. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
