Ingredients
- chicken breasts diced — 1 lb
- medium onion chopped — 1 pcs
- large potato peeled and diced — 1 pcs
- water — 1 cup
- small bunch parsley (about 1.5 cups, chopped, loosely packed) — 1 pcs
- large eggs — 8 pcs
- cheese — 6 oz
- olive oil — 2 tbsp
Steps
- Mix the spices together (grinding any whole spices if necessary) and set them aside.
- In a large frying pan or pot over medium heat, saute the onions in about 1 tbsp of olive oil until tender.
- Toss chicken with 1/2 of the spice mix. Add this to the pan and brown.
- Add the potatoes and the water to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook uncovered until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Stir chopped parsley into the cooked mixture and set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), and grease a medium (2 quart/liter) baking pan with the remaining olive oil.
- Thoroughly whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then mix in the cheese. Stir in the chicken, potato, and parsley mixture, along with the remaining spice mixture. Stir until well-combined, then pour into the oiled baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set in the center. Allow to cool, and serve warm or at room temperature. Serve with some harissa, if you like.
