Jordanian Freekeh with Chicken
A dish of freekeh simmered with chicken, onion, broth, and warm spices, finished with parsley and almonds.
In this Jordanian-style preparation, the freekeh cooks in the same pot as the chicken, absorbing the broth and the aromas of the spices. The result is a hearty dish with tender grains and browned chicken.
