Biblical Chicken

Biblical Chicken

Biblical Chicken is one of the most surprising recipes that I came across while researching on foods during Biblical times.

Chicken was one of the meats included in Biblical diets. Below are the links for Biblical Chicken from two sites I visited before testing my recipe.  This is a simple chicken dish that anyone would love. The oranges add zest and flavour to the dish.  The almonds and pomegranate seeds add a crunchy texture.  All in all Biblical Chicken is a dish that is both easy and pleasing to the eye and palate. Suitable for all ages.  And worthy of every Christmas celebration.
