    Tired of chicken breasts, I recently purchased some skinless thighs. (Yes, skinless and it worked fine.) This was quite easy and absolutley delicious. As a big fan of North Africa cuisine, I was particularly impressed with the complexity of flavors in this recipe. Despite the relatively small number of spices combined here, it manages to havethe sweet-spicy-savory blend one finds in a tagine-like dish. Have to confess I forgot to add the flour in step 4, but recovered with a pinch or two of arrowroot at the end. Thanks Kitz!

    Fixed this recipe so my wife could have a night off from cooking. She came into the kitchen 3 times while it was being prepared because it smelled so good. It takes some preparation and it takes a while to cook but the results are definitely worth it. We served the dish over jasmine rice and it was wonderful. The dish is amazingly filling and leaves you feeling very satisfied at the end of the meal. You probably wouldn't want to fix this dish too often because the dish is so rich and flavorful but is is a great, tasty and relatively cheap dish to prepare. Be careful, however, this dish is a tablecloth stainer so don't get it on your clothes, tablecloth or best napkins.
