Moroccan Spiced Chicken Stew With Carrots Recipes

ONE POT MOROCCAN CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cooking pot on a medium high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. When the oil is simmering add the chicken to the bottom of the pot and brown the breasts, aa couple minutes of cooking on each side. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked through at this point since you'll be cooking it more later.
• Once browned, remove the chicken from the pot and place on a paper towel lined plate. Turn off the heat for a few minutes as you make the puree in the next step.
• Place the roughly chopped onion, tomatoes, ginger and garlic in a blender and blend into a puree. Set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pot you were using before and bring to a medium high heat. When the oil starts to simmer add the sliced onions and fry until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the spices ( turmeric, cumin, coriander cinnamon) and continue to fry the onions another minute before adding the puree mixture. Keep sautéing the onions another 3 minutes. Add the blended onion/tomato mixture to the pot.
• Return the chicken to the dish and add the carrots, chicken stock, sugar and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot with a fitted lid and let stew for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the pot. Add the chopped dates and stir to mix in well. On a cutting board or plate use a couple of forks to shred the chicken into bite sized pieces. Stir the chicken back in. Taste and season with salt as needed.
• Serve over rice or cauliflower rice (if you want a paleo meal) and enjoy!

Cover and cook on high until chicken is cooked through, 4 hours (or 8 hours on low), adding raisins 15 minutes before done.
