Lebanese Chicken Stew image

This dish is sweet and peppery, delicious served with basic pilaf. The original recipe called for whole quail, yet they are hard to come by!! So here it is with chicken. I have only made this with fillets, but chicken pieces with bones would work equally well, even better perhaps.

1 kg boneless skinless chicken thighs

Steps:
