Ingredients
    6 chicken breasts
    2 medium onions, thinly sliced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    2 saffron threads
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
    1 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
    1 cup cilantro, finely chopped
    4 cups potatoes, diced bite-size
    2 cups green peas
Preparation
    In a large flameproof casserole, combine chicken, onions, garlic, oil, saffron, cumin, ginger pepper, paprika & salt, then cover with water, about 2 cups. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil & cook, covered, for 30 minutes.
    Add parsley, cilantro & potatoes, then cook, covered, another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nearly done.
    Add peas, lower the heat & simmer for 5 minutes more.
    If sauce is still runny, uncover the pan & boil hard until thickened, then taste & adjust seasoning, if necessary, before transferring to a preheated serving dish ~ Serve very hot with a good bread!
