Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Add onion to the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. The onion will begin to caramelize. After 10 minutes, add ginger, curry powder, cinnamon, cardamom, red pepper and garlic. Stir in the chicken broth and white wine. Add chicken back to pan and add the dates and golden raisins. Stir gently and bring to a boil. Cover and bake at 350℉ for 1 hour.
