Alibaba Chicken Stew

I’m trying to stay on track with healthy eating. It is easier to do if I cook every meal. Thankfully Russ is a rally good sport about eating whatever concoction I dream up. Tonight I was making up a dish on the fly with what I had on hand from the farmers market. I decided to go with a Lebanese/middle eastern spice profile and it turned out to be very satisfying. I had mine with some hummus as my garnish and Russ had his over rice with Harissa. Both were two thumbs up.
