About Chicken joojeh
Chicken Joojeh is a traditional Persian dish known for its flavorful and tender grilled chicken. Originating in Iran, this dish involves marinating chicken pieces—typically thighs or breasts—in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, saffron, olive oil, and aromatic spices like turmeric and garlic. Once marinated, the chicken is skewered and grilled to perfection, offering a smoky, juicy taste that pairs wonderfully with rice, flatbread, or fresh salad. Nutritionally, Chicken Joojeh is a protein-rich option, making it a satisfying and energy-boosting meal. The use of saffron and lemon juice in the marinade introduces antioxidants, while olive oil provides heart-healthy fats. However, some recipes may include higher amounts of oil or yogurt, contributing to saturated fat content. For a healthier version, opting for lean chicken cuts and moderate marinade usage can balance indulgence with nutritional benefits.
