A variation on this recipe that I do is to par boil the chicken pieces and remove the meat in shreds, carmelize the onion seperately, and then layer the bread, olive oil brushed on it, chicken shreds, carmelized onion, toasted pine nuts, sprinkled sumac, and chicken broth to moisten all. Then put it in the oven/broiler til the bread is toasted. The sweet carmelized onion goes so well with the tart sumac.

Love that recipe which my mom used to cook for us back home!!! thanks for posting. Sumac is a coarse powder condiment and can be found in Iranian/Lebanese/Arab shops. This recipe, also knowns as Musakhan, is very popular in the Levant – Lebanon Syria and especially the Palestinian areas where it originated from. Try sprinkling some sumac on your fried eggs instead of black pepper and see!

Ahh sumac is a Lebanese food? I always prefer and love roasted chicken as it has different taste, it’s spicy and crunchy at the same time. Glad you share Sumac Chicken recipe, I’ll added in my chicken collection.

Zaatar is a favorite around here, but I’ve never used sumac on its own. The pita platform is intriguing and unique!

I've had sumac at my favorite Mediterranean restaurant here in Salt Lake and I like it. I keep meaning to buy some from Penzeys! Love the sound of this, especially the idea of roasting the chicken on top of the pita bread. The bread must be heavenly! last blog post: Gluten-Free and South Beach Diet Friendly Baked Brown Rice Tortilla Chips Recipe

Wow, I love this one.
I was looking for recipes to use Sumac ever since the nice spice-man at the market gave it to me on top of my spice purchases telling me “you can use it on almost everything…”
I like the combination of chicken and pita bread.
