Mloukhiya with Chicken

Mloukhiya with chicken is a soupy dish that is popular throughout the Middle-East, East Africa and North Africa. Often confused with spinach, Mloukhiya -also known as Jew's Mallow -is the star of this dish with its distinctive green color and texture, almost similar to Okra. The leaves are also nutritious, ideal for those who have been fasting for hours. Mloukhiya is usually made with chicken but if you're prefer beef or lamb, make that substitute! Serve this easy dish with a side of rice and you'll have yourself a nourishing Iftar!
