Description

Amich is sometimes referred to as Armenian chicken. The essence is that the chicken is roasted, stuffed with rice and dried fruits. It turns out sweet and spicy: the rice is mixed with dates, apricots, almonds, and raisins, seasoned with cloves, cinnamon, and black pepper. Most likely, there will be more rice with dried fruits than needed to stuff the chicken—feel free to place it in a baking dish alongside.

  • Poultry - 1 piece
  • Almond - 2.3 oz
  • Dates - 4.9 oz
  • Dried Apricots - 1.4 oz

  • Raisins - 1.4 oz
  • Ground clove - ½ spoons
  • Cinnamon - ½ spoons
  • Basmati rice - 4.1 oz
  • Salt - to taste
  • Ground Black Pepper - to taste
