Add the chicken, za?atar (or other herbs), and salt and saut? a few minutes until the vegetables begin to stick to the pan.Deglaze the pan with the wine (to do this, splash the wine on the bits that have stuck to the pan during saut?ing, then scrape the pan to release the bits and the flavor).

During cooking, the chicken may fall off the bones. Remove the bones before serving. Splash the olive oil on top of the chicken just before serving.

If your local food stores do not carry it, simply substitute equal parts thyme, oregano, and sesame seeds.Serving Size: 5 1 cupNumber of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CYNDI188.
