it's quickly becoming a classic

Persian Chicken. The first (and maybe second and third) time I had this dish, it was prepared with love by my amazing and inspirational friend Di over at her place (known as chez Kiwi) in Antwerp. I adored this meal so much that I politely demanded the recipe, and promptly tucked it away into my "best ever" collection.

Later when I made cookbooks as Christmas presents, Persian Chicken was one of the staple meals that I included. This is the sort of dish that everyone should have, even if only once in their lifetime.
It's very easy to prepare, and what I like most about it, is that you don't have to measure anything and there's a lot of room to improvise on ingredients. I think it's all about your own feeling as you chop and prepare. In the end, the dish will always offer something a little bit different :) You'll find that using different fruit from one time to the next will change the dish completely as well.


You can find the recipe over at Di's...

I like to serve my Persian Chicken over a white, aromatic rice with some naan bread on the side.
