Chicken Haleem – Slow-Cooked Chicken & Lentil Stew

Chicken Haleem is a beloved Pakistani comfort food made by slow-cooking shredded chicken with a wholesome mix of lentils, wheat, and barley. This dish is gently simmered to create a thick, rich, and smooth stew, bursting with warm spices and topped with crispy fried onions, sliced green chilies, julienned ginger, and mint leaves. Nutritious and filling, Haleem is perfect for lunch or dinner – especially during winter or festive occasions like Ramadan. Enjoy it with naan or squeeze in a bit of lemon for extra zest.
