Editors Review
For those who love to experiment with their taste buds, here is a chicken fatteh dish, which is quite a meal in itself as it has the meat, carbs and yogurt to top it all. It is a typical Arabic dish and you can give it a try after you watch the recipe video.Comments

I studied in Egypt a few years ago and I remember eating this dish. It was delicious. I had always thought that mixing yogurt with dinner was awful, but this dish converted me. Although this chicken fatten was a bit different from the one I tasted in Egypt mainly because of 1) authenticity and 2) I was the one cooking. It was nice to have those blend of flavors again. One suggestion I would make is to be more specific with the directions. In the directions it says to add lemon juice but its not mention in the list of recipes. Thank you for posting it.

thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
I will fix the list of the ingredients now! glad you found the recipe and appreciate the flavors. In Egypt they also make this dish with lamb, no yogurt, instead they add tomato and garlic sauce, at the end of the sauce cooking time, a dash of vinegar is added , it is just as good and full of strong flavors too.
