Ground or minced meat with aromatic spices is common to cuisines across the globe. Take, for instance, Latin American picadillo, Indian keema and all-American chili. Store-bought spice blends pack tons of flavor—and plenty of convenience—in a single jar. For this dish, we use either garam masala or za’atar to robustly season mild-tasting ground chicken. Serve with warm flatbread alongside.

New fave!
So easy and so flavorful! Served with flatbread and toasted cauliflower with tahini and lemon. Definitely adding to our weeknight rotation!

So tasty and a breeze to make
Such a simple and yummy recipe. I believe as written recipe would be great. I did add a chopped shallot and diced yellow bell pepper, both sautéed prior to adding ground chicken. Served with mini pitas

During summer when cherries are at their best, could I make this with fresh cherries?

Hi Erica -

We haven't tested this with fresh fruit, but since dried fruit will soak up some of the water that is used to cover the mixture, you will likely have to cook everything longer in order to achieve the same overall texture of the mixture. This may cause the ground chicken to overcook.
Best,
