Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the oil.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and cook gently until browned on all sides.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  5. Yes, this is a long simmer for a chicken, but these are the instructions I was given, and when I tried it at home it tasted just like our meal at the camp. The potatoes should just about disintegrate, which thickens the stock, now turned sauce.
  6. Note that the fat and bones from the chicken will disengage from the meat - not very palatable for our tastes, but the Iraqi family seemed to have just ate around them. (I remove them and the cinnamon sticks before serving.).
  7. Serve over rice. We like to add cooked or steamed vegetables over the rice before drowning it with the curry. Box of frozen broccoli works for us. Oh - they also served whole pita breads with this, which they tore and passed on to one another to tear and pass and use as scoops. Neat!
