Tashreeb Dajaj , is one of the most popular Iraqi dishes it is usually cooked at lunchtime, it is a very filling, wholesome and tasty meal. I love Khubz (flat Iraqi bread) in which makes this dish one of my favorites dishes to eat. Tashreeb Dajaj is plated in a special way, you cut the Khubz into small pieces and place it in a deep dish then add the chicken and the vegetables and pour the chicken broth over it. No utensils are needed to eat the Tashreeb Dajaj, you can use your hand. It is usually done by taking a small piece of chicken, a few of the vegetables and roll it in the khubz and pick it up with your hand and straight to your mouth. It is said that you gain lots of blessings if you eat with your hand. Tashreeb Dajaj can be served with basmati rice and salad.
