Notes from the kitchen
- Pat chicken skin completely dry with paper towels before searing to achieve a golden finish.
- Substitute green bell peppers or sweet yellow peppers to add extra color to the pan dish.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by French Provençal; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
