A great, subtly spiced stew - the garnishings really take this to the next level, so do not leave them out! I used 1 kg of bone-in chicken breasts, but otherwise followed the recipe; used in all about 1,5 ts salt and cut the chicken in fairly large chunks (aesthetic preference!). Thank you for a lovely recipe Habibi!
