Recipe Notes

*This dish does equally well with lamb or beef, but the meat should be marinated for at least an hour to tenderize before cooking.

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add: 1 medium zucchini, cubed, 1 large potato, peeled and cubed, and ½ cup fresh green beans, cut into 1/2” pieces.
