Authentic Saudi Braised Chicken Pastry

Assemble the ingredients: chicken, onion, butter, lemon juice, parsley, tomato, yogurt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chicken and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Saudi flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Saudi accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
