Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 tbsp. flour
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into 2-inch chunks
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 can whole tomatoes 28 oz
- 1 can 15 oz garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed olives optional
- 1 c. water
- 1/2 c. loosely packed fresh coriander fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- In a 6-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and cook until light golden brown.
- Meanwhile, mix flour with coriander, cumin, salt, cayenne, and cinnamon in a shallow dish or pie plate. Toss chicken with flour mixture to coat evenly.
- Add chicken to the Dutch oven and cook for 7 minutes or until lightly browned, turning the chicken over as needed to prevent sticking. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in tomatoes with their juices, beans, raisins, olives (if using), and water; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Break up tomatoes with a wooden spoon.
- Serve garnished with cilantro. You can also serve it up with some sweet Moroccan Mint Tea to get yourself a meal that will transport you straight to Casablanca.
