Chicken Fasulyeh is a Middle Eastern dish that combines chicken with beans, tomatoes, and spices. The dish is typically made with white beans, such as cannellini beans, along with chicken thighs or breasts. The chicken is first seared to develop a flavorful crust, then cooked together with the beans and tomato sauce.

The tomato sauce is usually flavored with a mix of spices, including cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, which gives the dish a warm and fragrant flavor. Some variations may also include garlic, onions, and peppers for additional depth of flavor.

Chicken Fasulyeh is often served with rice, pita bread, or flatbread. It is a hearty and satisfying dish that is perfect for a comforting meal during cooler weather.
