I LOVE Chicken, can you tell?. So You guessed right, that’s the 1st thing I would opt for at any Dinner or Restaurant. More specifically I enjoy the Chicken Breast most, for those of you that know me *Fussy Eater* ??, just letting you all know in case you plan on throwing a dinner party you invite me too?.

While I await YOUR DINNER Invites, let me share with you this recipe, an idea I took away from my short getaway to Muscat, Oman. I have a sneaky suspicion that the Chef at the Intercontinental, may have been psychic to know I LOVED Chicken?. I througly enjoyed the way chef prepared the chicken, it was a simple dish yet succulent and full of flavour??. I vowed to myself I would have to try out something similar when I got back home to Bahrain. So here is my take on this flavourful Chicken, today I used a whole Chicken which I cut into quarters , but any cut of chicken would work perfectly with this.

Happy Pot Roasting Lovelies??
