Morrocan Stewed Chicken

Loved this one!
My favorite part may have been the smell!
So yummy. I ate mine over brown rice,
Jake and the kids had white.

Morrocan Stewed Chicken
l lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (I used breasts)
1 large zuchinni, cut into cubes
1 16 oz can garbonzo beans
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 c chicken stock or water
1/2 cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (the YUMMY smell)

Place oil in large saute pan or wide pot over medium high heat
Season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook in pan until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add zuchinni and continue cooking, stirring often.
When zuchinni pieces have browned light add garbonzos, tomatoes, chicken stock, cayenne, cumin and cinnamon. Turn heat to low and simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper; garnish with cilantro.
Enjoy!

  1. After making and eating this I found out you're supposed to eat it like a soup. Which would make it even better because the broth was great, but got soaked up by the rice.
