Baharat Chicken with Mushrooms

Inspired by the simplicity of this 4-Ingredient Za’atar Roast Chicken we took our Baharat seasoning blend along with meaty mushrooms to make another delicious easy chicken recipe.  

Make it with chicken pieces or as a whole roast chicken, either way, it’s perfect.  We loved the flavor of this chicken using orange juice, but lemon is a great substitute if you prefer. 

Serve with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes.
