Ingredients

Chicken Thigh, 3 thigh, bone and skin removed

Chicken Drumstick, 3 drumstick, bone and skin removed

Tomato Paste, 0.25 cup

Saffron, .5 tsp

*Campbell's low sodium chicken broth, 2 cup

Water, tap, 2 cup (8 fl oz)

Turmeric, ground, .5 tsp

Cinnamon, ground, .5 tsp

Onions, raw, 1 medium (2-1/2" dia)

Olive Oil, 1 tbsp

Directions

Dice onion. Lightly fry the onion in the olive oil. Add chicken pieces just to brown. Add all other ingredients, cover and simmer for 1.5 hours or until chicken falls off the bone and sauce has thickened. If it's too thin, add a bit more tomato paste or simmer with the lid off until the liquid has a chance to evaporate, if it's too thick add a bit of water.

If you used chicken with the skin on, remove it before eating. Obviously don't eat the bones and don't give them to your dog! Your dog would rather have a nice T-bone steak bone instead.
