Zaatar Kerala Chicken Piccata

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: chicken thighs, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the celery and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the chicken piccata and let it zaatar, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the raisins and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
