About Zankou chicken

Zankou Chicken is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, originating from Armenia and Lebanon, and is celebrated for its flavorful simplicity. This dish typically features roasted or rotisserie chicken seasoned with a blend of spices that include garlic, lemon, and herbs. Key accompaniments often include pita bread, pickles, and a signature garlic sauce made from fresh garlic, oil, and lemon juice. High in protein, chicken offers substantial nutritional benefits, supporting muscle growth and repair. The dish is also rich in essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin B6 and selenium. However, the accompanying garlic sauce is calorie-dense due to its oil content, and portions should be monitored for those watching fat intake. With minimal processed ingredients, Zankou Chicken is a wholesome choice that balances authentic flavors with nutritional benefits, making it a popular option for meals that are both satisfying and nourishing.
