Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thigh boneless, skinless
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced, medium
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- 2 teaspoons Moroccan spice blend
- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
- 1/2 cup dates dried, halved
- 1/2 cup dried apricots Turkish variety if you can find them, chopped
- 14 ounces chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons almonds sliced
- couscous optional, for serving
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Pat the chicken pieces dry and add them to the flour mixture, tossing to coat both sides.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned. Stir in the Moroccan spice mixture, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook for 30 seconds, then add the broth, dates, and apricots.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Cover, turn the heat down to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in the chickpeas and vinegar. Taste and add salt as needed. Garnish with sliced almonds and serve with couscous (optional).

Notes
- To store your Moroccan Chicken Skillet, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, thaw it in the fridge overnight if frozen, then warm it on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. Add a splash of broth if needed to maintain moisture.
