Inspired by North African tagines, this Moroccan chicken recipe uses skinless, boneless chicken thighs and is ready in a little over an hour. Serve the chicken over couscous, and garnish with a cilantro sprig for color. Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon olive oil |
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs |
2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion |
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained |
1 (7-ounce) package dried apricots (about 1 1/3 cups), halved |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove chicken from pan. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken.
2. Add onion to pan; sauté for 3 minutes or until tender. Add ginger and next 6 ingredients (through garlic); sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return chicken to pan; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until chicken is tender.
3. Remove chicken from pan with a slotted spoon; cool slightly. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken, chickpeas, and apricots to pan. Cover and simmer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
