Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Mix together the spices and rub into the skin of the chicken thighs.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin up.
Flip them each over and brown the skin for about 5-7 minutes. Flip back over so the skin is up. Turn off the heat.
Add in the onion, lemon, chickpeas, olives, garlic and lemon zest. Then pour the chicken broth over everything.
Bake uncovered in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with rice or couscous.

Notes

Storage: Store Moroccan chicken thighs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
