  • Now separate the cooled meat from the bones and cut into small pieces and mix the cooked rice with a third of the yoghurt mixture.
  • To layer the ingredients, you can use a large baking dish or 5 small ones. The bottom layer forms half of the rice yoghurt mixture, then half of the meat is spread over it and a smooth layer of peanut yoghurt is placed on top.
  • Then comes rice, meat and yogurt again, so that there are a total of 6 layers in the baking dish. The oven is now preheated to 170 ° top / bottom heat.
  • Put the baking dish with a roasting thermometer in the middle of the oven and when the core temperature shows 70 ° and the yoghurt layer has a very light caramel color, the Lebanese chicken is ready.
  • Now decorate with verbena.

Salad:

  • Wash and clean the lettuce and lightly toast the sunflower seeds in the pan without any fat.
  • For the dressing, mix olive oil, mustard, water, jam and lemon into a vinaigrette and mix well with the salad.
  • Now fill the salad into 5 salad bowls and sprinkle the sunflower seeds over them.
