Maqluba Chicken, A healthy Jordanian dish that is a treat for your taste-buds and has all the flavors of the rainbow wrapped into every bite.

Many individuals love having different culinary experiences from all over the world. Do you remember a time when you tasted a dish that was very unique?  If so, which dish was your favorite and which country did it come from? My favorite dining experience was Jordanian Maqluba chicken. I want you to be curious and motivated to taste Maqluba chicken and motivate others to do the same.

What is Maqluba chicken?

In 2017 while working aboard the cruise ship, the Celebrity Millennium, I attended an excursion in Jordan. This was the first time I tasted Maqluba chicken. To this day Maqluba chicken is my all-time favorite dish. Maqluba Chicken contains a mixture of ingredients such as: vegetables, nuts, tomatoes, carrots, chicken, rice – all the ingredients are simmered for an extended time. All the ingredients display a unique flavor which opens your appetite. The dish is spicy without being overpowering. Anyone can eat it even if you are not used to spicy food. It envoques flavors and spices from India.  All the ingredients are organic and when they are boiled together they give a sensationally unique flavor that keeps your senses awake.  

I was thoroughly impressed when we arrived at the Crystal restaurant at the Dead Sea Hotel and Spa, where I tasted the Maqluba Jordanian chicken. The name of the excursion was – The Dead Sea Experience; it took us 3 hours and 30 minutes to arrive at the Dead Sea resort; our knowledgeable guide was able to provide us some relevant information on the way. We enjoyed a delicious open buffet lunch where various options were available – I chose the Maqluba and was thoroughly impressed by the fresh organic taste – It was so delicious, and I came back for seconds, thirds, and even fourths! Most of the guests in the Tour chose only the Maqluba chicken because of its new organic taste and ALL-the fresh organic ingredients that it contains. 

Health benefits

I fell in love with the Maqluba Chicken as my favorite food because of its healthy flavor. Another reason why Maqluba is my favorite food is because it is a healthy food, regardless of your health problems – Maqluba is easy to digest, and it is nutritious, providing you the energy you need for your day–to–day life. It uses a variety of medicinal herbs such as turmeric which is a powerful anti-inflammatory and garlic which aids metabolism and digestion. The dish is served on basmati rice which is different from regular white rice because it contains more nutrients. The dish is also heavy in vegetables and Middle Eastern species. 

If you get the chance try Maqluba chicken

Maqluba Chicken is my favorite food because of the organic ingredients; I will never forget my Tour to Jordan, which allowed me to discover my favorite dish. Not only did it help me to find my favorite food in Jordan, but also, I found the hospitality of the Jordanian people. Most importantly, the trip allowed me to learn a healthy Jordanian cuisine – The Maqluba Jordanian chicken. So, if you want to stay healthy – I invite you to taste it.  Better yet travel to Jordan to experience not only Maqluba Chicken but also the wonderful and hospitable culture of the Jordanian people and its amazing cuisine.
