What it is
Tender chicken pieces slowly simmered or baked with black and green olives, caramelized onions, garlic, and a blend of savory spices. The onions become sweet and jammy, complementing the salty olives and succulent chicken in a rich sauce.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (e.g., thighs), onions, black olives, green olives, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, mixed spices (e.g., turmeric, cumin, ginger), salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no potatoes or rice are added. Confirm no sugar is used to 'caramelize' the onions beyond natural sugars.
Watch out for
Generous portions of caramelized onions can contribute significant carbs. Some restaurants may add a pinch of sugar for faster caramelization or to balance flavors.
