Chicken & Olives w/ French Fries

Chicken & Olives w/ French Fries

1 large onion sliced very thin
2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)- cut into 1" pieces
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp cumin
2 tablespoon turmeric
2 1/2 cups chicken stock (this is a guess, I don't actually measure)
1 small tub of olives (we use different kinds depending on what's available)
1 lemon
french fries (I use frozen shoestrings)
Fresh parsley (optional)

In a pot, cook the onion in the olive oil on medium-high until softened. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken begins to brown. Stir in salt, pepper, turmeric, & cumin.
Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 30-45 min.

In the meantime, bake fries in the oven (as per directions). Add olives to chicken and juice of fresh lemon. Put chicken, onions, and olives on a plate. Add liquid from the pot until there is about an inch of liquid surrounding the chicken on the plate. Add the fries to the top of the chicken. Serve with bread for dipping.

Yummy! Wadi calls this 'gamila' and I make it all the time. Although I use a whole chicken - he likes the dark meat and I eat the breast.
