Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free!

Apple and Date Pargiyot

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! This is my favorite type of chicken dish to serve at holiday meal. It's a sauce chicken, which means I make it ahead of time and freeze it (yes! you read that right!), plus the sauce stands up to reheating on the hotplate. It's sweet, but not too sweet, it's soft and tender and just everything I look for in a chicken recipe! Feel free to sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the chicken for an extra symbolic element of this dish, but with apples, dates and carrots, you really can't go wrong here!
