Recipe Instructions

* Note: See the "Fresh Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this collection.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Run your fingers between the skin and meat of each piece of chicken, leaving one side attached, to create a pocket for stuffing. Season all over with salt and pepper.

Combine turmeric, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and cilantro in a small bowl to form a paste. Divide into 9 equal parts and spread evenly between skin and meat.

Heat remaining olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken, skin-side down first, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to oven and bake 15 minutes.

Serve immediately, over a bed of bulgur wheat or rice, with Fresh Tomato Sauce spooned on top.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
