Lebanese 10 Mins Prep ยท 45 Mins Cook


  1. Add the sliced onion to a medium-sized pan drizzled with olive oil. Place over a low heat and allow to sweat for 7-8 minutes.
  2. Add the skinless chicken thighs and the 6 finely chopped garlic cloves and fry for another 5 minutes, until the chicken starts to brown. Add the turmeric and cumin and fry for another minute.
  3. Add the butter, tomato paste and flour and stir until a paste has formed.
  4. Add the balsamic vinegar, bay leaf, chicken stock, dates (roughly chopped) and honey. Stir until fully combined. Bring to a boil, reduce to a low heat and leave to simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is easy to pull apart.
