Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Brown the chicken in the oil. Add the garlic, onion, turmeric, cinnamon and saffron, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 20 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the raisins, parsley and chick peas. Mix well. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Correct seasoning and serve.

This was incredibly easy and tasty. I only had skinless, boneless thighs, so the cooking time was significantly shorter than the recipe. I will definitely make this again!

Hm. Not sure what happened here, I followed instructions and the taste was just odd. Maybe I used too much saffron I don’t know what a pinch of saffron is.

Yum yum especially atop couscous…
