I thought this was just ok, but DH and my teenager loved it. I used chicken thighs and cut back on the oil a bit. I also made the saffron rice in my rice steamer. Family has requested to add this to the regular rotation.
This is a great recipe! The dish is full of flavor. I used an organic Moroccan saffron I purchased from Amazon, which enhanced the flavor of the dish.

Loved this. Doubled the amount of dates and used 2 cups of tomato soup instead. Also used saffron AND turmeric. The sauce came out perfectly carmelized. Would definitely make this again. For a dinner party would use boneless, skinless thighs instead. Served with green beans sauteed with garlic and tossed w/feta.
