CHICKEN WITH DATES FOR PASSOVER

Ready in: 20 MinTotal time: 20 Min

So simple and delicious… Pair this dish with a spicy Syrah and mashed potatoes and parsnips for a delicious holiday meal.

Ingredients

• Two 3-pound roasting chickens, cut into pieces
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 large onions, peeled and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, left whole
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1-pound dates, halved lengthwise
• Juice of 2 lemons

Instructions

1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the chicken in batches, browning the pieces on all sides over high heat. Remove the chicken and set it aside. Add the onions to the same pan and cook over medium heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, rosemary, and broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and return the chicken to the pan. Cover the pan with the lid or aluminum foil, wrapped tightly, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
2. Skim the fat from the surface, then add the dates and lemon juice and cook for 10 minutes more. Serve the chicken with the dates and sauce.
