Chicken Moussaka

Chicken Moussaka: Is a lighter twist on the classic Greek dish, typically made with ground lamb or beef. Instead, layers of tender chicken are baked with eggplant, potatoes, and a rich béchamel sauce. The chicken is cooked with Mediterranean spices like cinnamon and oregano, adding depth to the dish. Topped with the creamy béchamel and a sprinkle of cheese, it’s baked until golden and bubbling. It’s a hearty, flavourful casserole that's both comforting and satisfying.
