Sumac Chicken with Carrots and Chickpeas is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines tender pieces of chicken seasoned with sumac, a tangy and slightly citrusy spice, along with a medley of carrots and chickpeas. The sumac adds a unique and zesty flavor profile to the chicken, enhancing its taste and adding a vibrant color to the dish. It's the perfect fall or Sukkot dish, with warm welcoming flavors.
