Moroccan Chicken Thighs With Chickpeas And Raisins Recipes

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan (I use my electric frypan for this) heat oil over medium heat.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper the brown well on both sides; transfer to a plate.
• Add in onions and garlic; saute for about 5 minutes, then add in cumin, turmeric, paprika and cinnamon; cook stirring with a wooden spoon for about 1 minute.
• Stir in broth, honey, lemon zest and flour; stir to combine.
• Then add in the browned chicken; simmer covered for about 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes of cooking add in the raisins and continue to cook (UNCOVERED) until the chicken is completely cooked through (about 15-20 minutes).
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the chicken to plate/s.
• Add in the chickpeas and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with cooked rice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant (2-3 minutes).
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally until thickened (5-7 minutes). Use the spoon to break open the tomatoes and crush them.
• Add the chicken, sweet potato, golden raisins, water, salt, pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potato is tender (25-35 minutes).
• Coarsely shred the chicken then stir in the lemon juice.
• Serve warm sprinkled with the almonds and cilantro.

Steps:

• 1. In a 3 quart sauce pan saute onion and garlic in oil. Add ginger, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne. Simmer for a minute. Stir in tomatoes, almonds, raisins, chickpeas and vanilla. Add chicken. Put your burner as low as it will go. Let cook for 1 hour or until chicken is done.
