ARABIC CHICKEN WITH LEMON & THYME
Our favorite recipe from our favorite Syrian-Lebanese cookbook, "Foods from Biblical Lands."The actual name is Djaj ma' limoon wa za' tar, but the kids call it "Arabic Chicken" and ask for it frequently. Save the leftover cooking juices to put over rice, potatoes, etc. (Actually, we use the marinade on potatoes, zukes, green beans..whatever we have and can throw in the oven). It's one of my standard potluck dishes and always gets raves (I use smaller chunks of chicken when cooking and then layer it over a 9x13 pan of rice pilaf for an easy self-serve dish). Also works to use packages of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (be careful not to overcook!). I've even been pressed for time and not broiled it and liked it just as much, or used it as marinade for grilled chicken...hard to mess this one up!

Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy grapes: The quality of your grapes will greatly impact the flavor of your jallab. Look for grapes that are plump and have a deep, rich color.
- Use filtered or spring water: Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of your jallab. Using filtered or spring water will ensure that your jallab is as pure and flavorful as possible.
- Don't overcook the grapes: When simmering the grapes, be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked grapes will lose their flavor and become mushy. Cook the grapes just until they are softened and have released their juices.
- Let the jallab cool completely before serving: Jallab is best served chilled. Allow the jallab to cool completely before serving, or you can even chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
- Garnish with nuts and dried fruits: When serving jallab, garnish it with chopped nuts and dried fruits, such as pistachios, almonds, or raisins. This will add a touch of extra flavor and texture to the drink.
Conclusion:
Jallab is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day or as a special treat during Ramadan. With its sweet and tangy flavor and beautiful presentation, jallab is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting drink to try, give jallab a try. You won't be disappointed!
