| 1. Put the chicken in a saucepan with the onion, ginger, saffron, cilantro, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and the parsley, and season with salt and pepper. | 2. Add enough water to barely cover the chicken and simmer gently, covered, for 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender. | 3. Preheat oven to 400. | 4. Transfer the chicken to a plate. | 5. Boil the cooking juices until they are reduced to a thick, dryish sauce. | 6. Set aside. | 7. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and take the meat off the bones. | 8. Coarsely chop the meat. | 9. Beat the eggs and butter with half the reduced cooking juices and cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are scrambled. | 10. Set aside. | 11. Toast the almonds in a dry, heavy frying pan, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. | 12. Add the remaining cinnamon and sugar. | 13. On a baking sheet, use the phyllo pastry (overlapping sheets) to make a square three layers thick and 18 inches across. | 14. Spread the remaining cooking juices in a 7-inch circle in the center of the pastry. | 15. Cover with the egg mixture, and top with chicken and almonds. | 16. Fold the sides of the pastry up and over the filling to completely enclose the filling. | 17. If necessary, patch any gaps with more pastry, always brushing with oil. | 18. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp. | 19. To serve, lightly dust confectioner's sugar andground cinnamon over the top. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
