This dish has been in my family for generations. It is a classic, comforting dish that is served during special occasions. I remember when I was a child, my grandmother would make this dish for us to enjoy after a long day of playing. The aroma of the spices and the tenderness of the chicken always made me feel so at home. It is a dish that I continue to make and enjoy to this day.
