Ingredients:

Serving

1 red onion, finely sliced
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts , cut into strips
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp coriander seed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
6 cardamom pods, crushed with seeds removed
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp dried oregano
1 (14 oz) can chopped tomatoes
2 pieces orange peel
2/3 cup orange juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat a non-stick frying pan. Dry fry the onion for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Add the chicken and garlic and cook briskly, turning the chicken regularly to seal on all sides.
Add the spices with 2-3 tbs of broth and sprinkle the flour over. Mix well, 'cooking out' the flour for 1 minute.
Gradually mix in the remaining broth. Add the oregano, tomatoes, orange peel and juice.
Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Season to taste and serve.
