1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
2 chicken breast halves (about 1 lb), skinned
2 chicken drumsticks (about 1/2 lb), skinned
2 chicken thighs (about 1/2 lb), skinned
2 tsp olive oil, divided
cooking spray
2 medium onions, cut into wedges
4 garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
1 (14-oz) can fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth, divided

Directions:

Combine first 9 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub chicken with the spice mixture.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 6 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in pan. Add onions and garlic; sauté 2 minutes or just until lightly browned. Add 1 1/3 cups broth, scraping bottom of pan to loosen browned bits. Return chicken to pan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 50 minutes. Stir in raisins and carrots; cook, uncovered, 20 minutes or until carrots are tender.
