4- Remove the chicken from the broth, cover it to keep it warm, strain the broth, return it to the pot, and cook over low heat.
5- Add molokhiya and cook over low heat for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring from time to time. Then remove from the heat and do not cook the molokhia well for more than 10 minutes so that it remains firm, also do not let it boil.
