Djej bel Frikeh (Chicken with Frikeh)
Unlike its cousin Arouz ala djej which is roasted chicken served with rice, Djej bel Frikeh uses the superfood frikeh as its choice carb instead. The smokiness of frikeh adds a layer of flavor that complements wonderfully with the roasted chicken and stir-fried vegetables.You'll find that the frikeh is slightly plumper, as it soaks in the delicious spiced chicken broth. As frikeh is a nutrient-dense grain that contains a lot of fiber, protein and iron, you'll be sure to have an Iftar that is not only healthy, but satisfying as well.
