street-cart chicken and rice + flatbread
Hello! This is our new favorite chicken! It's so good it actually makes me sad to think of how much time passed between seeing the recipe and making the recipe. Too many months, friends, too many months. Don't be like me! It might become your new favorite as well 😊
This meal emulates one that you would get from a halal street cart in NYC, if you were in NYC. Since I'm on the opposite coast, I'm super happy that I can make something similar in my own kitchen... these flavors are everything I want to eat. Coriander, cumin, oregano, turmeric, etc. The best 🙌🏼
