The week my first cookbook went to print after weeks of recipe testing, we were all ready to try something new. That Friday night Shabbat dinner, on the quest for 'different,' this recipe created itself on the first try. Flavorful and elegant, this chicken is such a showstopper that I don't even feel the need to serve a beef dish alongside it.

I Am not a chef, but I never heard of coconut aminos or solan date honey. Where do you get these ingredients?
In the UK you can find the date honey in Tesco or Asda. The other, never heard of it.
Coconut aminos is like soy sauce only a healthy version. Silan date honey can be purchased in kosher supermarkets or middle eastern markets.
