Egyptian Molokheya with Crispy Roasted Chicken

Molokheya is one of Egypt’s most iconic dishes — a silky stew of minced jute leaves simmered in broth and finished with the famous ta'aliyah (garlic-coriander on the fire). It’s served with perfectly roasted chicken and fluffy white rice, making it the ultimate comfort food of Egyptian kitchens. Beyond its comforting taste, molokheya is packed with benefits: it’s rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and powerful antioxidants that support immunity and digestion. The garlic and coriander in the ta'aliyah add antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, while the crispy roasted chicken delivers lean protein.
