CHICKEN IN SAFFRON CREAM
"This Indian-inspired dish is very easy to prepare, but the rich, complex sauce suggests otherwise. Serve it with butter-basted, roasted butternut squash and basamite rice seasoned with peas and butter. Rich creamy Fage brand yogurt, originally imported from Greece, is perfect for this dish." I acquired this recipe from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
