Chicken Breast
(Sidreyat Al Dajaj)
-
- 2 chicken breasts (skinned)
- 2 tablespoons rice flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 5 cups milk
- ground cinnamon for decoration
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons rose water
Boil the chicken breasts until well-cooked. Remove the bones from the chicken.
Put the chicken in a food blender with 1 1/2 cups of milk and the cardamom. Blend
thoroughly then strain through a fine mesh metal sieve. Sweeten the remaining
milk. Add the rose water and bring to a boil over low heat. Add the blended
chicken to the milk and stir. Add the rice flour, stirring constantly until the
mixture thickens. Pour the mixture into a dish and leave aside to thicken.
Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, and place in the refrigerator to cool.
