Author Notes
My favorite meal as a child was my mother's roasted chicken with buttered white rice and curried carrots. The chicken was tender and juicy, the rice rich and sticky and the carrots were sweet and savory with the smallest hint of spice. The meal was perfection. I recently wanted to update that simple family classic and came up with this recipe that I find myself craving as if it were chocolate. The combination of flavors from the salty feta, the sweet honey, the warmth from the cumin and freshness from the parsley play a symphony in your mouth with every bite. I do hope you give it a try.
