How to serve Al Aseel’s Lebanese Lemon Garlic Chicken
For me, Lebanese bread for sauce mopping is a must, plus then you also have the option to make wraps stuffed with the tasty chicken pieces smothered in the lemon garlic sauce. Rice is also a good option. Basmati would be my pick though any plain rice would work (there’s certainly plenty of sauce for rice soaking).

If you’re after something more adventurous on the rice front, try Mejadra (Middle Eastern spiced lentil rice), Garlic rice or Rice Pilaf with Nuts and Dried Fruit.

Add a perky fresh salad on the side (try Lebanese Fattoush or this Ottolenghi one, sometimes I skip the chickpeas), and a fabulous Lebanese feast at home is totally within reach even on a midweek! And if there are any die-hard Al Aseel fans reading this, I’d love to know how you think my version stacks up.
