Preparation

  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. 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.
