Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can 15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini diced
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and season with cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, then add the chickpeas, carrots, zucchini, and dried apricots. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley.
