1 Tbls. Lemon juice
1 Tbls. Vinegar
2 Tbls. Tahini
1 ½ loaves pita bread fried in olive oil

- Clean the chicken breast and boil with chicken bouillon cubes. Let cool and then shred the chicken into medium size pieces.
- Toast the pine nuts and almonds in the oven or sauté them in olive oil.
- Cook rice with chicken broth and add turmeric to the rice before it starts boiling.
- Reserve ½ cup of the chicken broth.
- Cut the bread in squares and toast the bread pieces in the oven until golden or fry them in olive oil until golden and crispy (this is the way I do it)

- Add salt to taste.
- Place the bread in the bottom of a casserole dish then sprinkle with the reserved chicken broth.
- Add the rice over the bread.
