Talk:Mahdzoon chicken

Ingredient quantities

When making this recipe I have modified some of the ingredient quantities as they seem excessive (for four people).

I have amended the recipe ingredients on the main page to the quantities used when I made this dish. The original recipe ingredient quantities are listed below.

Original ingredients

• 900 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 240 ml olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons extra
• Garlic, to taste, crushed
• 120 ml dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon fresh basil, finely chopped
• 2 medium onions, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 480 ml plain yoghurt
• Flat leaved parsley, finely chopped

Rationale

900g of chicken breast for 4 people would be 2 of the largest chicken breasts you could ever buy, per person!

To marinade the chicken in 1/2 a pint of olive oil, and then just discard it seems wasteful and unnecessary.
