My husband and are a so blessed to have friends all over the world. Some great friends who are missionaries in Saboba, Northern Ghana made this Chicken dish for us when they were on leave. Jean had first eaten it in Ethiopia. I may not be able to travel physically, but I sure do by tasting authentic food from around the world.
