Directions
Roast Chicken With Dried Fruit and Almonds,Inspired by all that’s great about Sephardic cooking, this roast chicken feels both homey and exotic. This is for 2 birds. This can also be made with chicken pieces for a more everyday meal.,I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! What a great idea to combine chicken with dried fruit. I could really taste the sweetness in the chicken. I got my fruit from Bella Viva Orchards, I particularly like their pitted dates: for Photo Tag. This was delicious…I loved the soft sweet onions married up to the dried fruits and spices! Due to the hounds that were after their dinner I totally forgot the almonds…:( Although I really didn’t miss them. I chopped the fruit up too much…I think the presentation would have been nicer with them just halved…that was my oversight.
