FFWD Week #18: Chicken B'stilla

I wavered back and forth whether or not to make this week's recipe... finally, I decided to pull up my socks and just do it! I knew this was something special when I tasted the chicken mixture - sweet and spicy and so different than what I normally make. It is AMAZING! I made half a recipe in a 6 inch springform and it worked out great! I used chopped almonds instead of slivered and I quite like the crunch that they gave. I also left out the saffron - being a poor student and everything. The cinnamon sugar on the top was a great touch This is definitely one of my favourite recipes from Around My French Table so far!

    Very nice - it looks absolutely beautiful. I love that you used the springform - flipping this dish over bordered on terrifying.

    Yours looks great! And I agree, the springform pan was a good idea.

    I made mine in a 6" pan as well. It's the perfect size for a smaller group.

    Thanks everyone! I've gotten so much use out of my 6" Springform since FFWD started - it was definitely worth buying!

    I think we made the same substitutions or lack there of (saffron) in this dish! I love it, too, b/c it was such a different flavor for me to cook. Good job!
