Chicken Bastilla is Morocco's famous chicken pie. Delicious saffron chicken, spicy omelet stuffing, and crunchy fried almonds sweetened and flavored with orange flower water are layered within a crispy, paper-thin pastry shell. A garnish of powdered sugar and cinnamon adds to the savory blend of flavors.
