Chicken With Prunes and Almonds

Recipe #279952 | 1½ hours | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Halalmom

Years ago, I could never imagine eating meat with fruits...Now, I just love this combination, chicken, prunes and a hint of cinnamon, just wonderful. This is a typical winter dish, with its warming spices. Try this after a long, rainy day and you will feel like on holiday in Morocco!
