Chicken and Vermicelli

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken by marinating it with black pepper, paprika, ginger, turmeric, garlic, lemon juice, salt, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, and vegetable oil.

Step 2

Bring the broth to a boil in the bottom of a couscoussier (Moroccan steamer).

Step 3

Place the marinated chicken in the top steamer basket without cooking it first.

Step 4

Add the Seffa vermicelli around or over the chicken in the same steamer basket.

The chicken and vermicelli steam together at the same time, allowing both to absorb the flavorful steam from the broth below. This traditional method gives the dish its unique taste and aroma.

Step 5

Once the chicken is fully cooked and the vermicelli is tender, remove them from the steamer.

Step 6

Arrange the vermicelli on a large serving platter, place the chicken in the center, and garnish with powdered sugar, cinnamon, toasted almonds, dried prunes, dried apricots, or your favorite toppings.

Serve immediately while hot.
