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!

ONE POT MOROCCAN CHICKEN STEW WITH SWEET POTATO & COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Add coconut oil to a large dutch oven or pot over medium high heat. Once coconut oil is melted, add in chicken thighs and generously season with salt and pepper. Brown chicken thighs for about 3-4 minutes per side. You do not need to cook completely. Remove chicken and transfer to a plate.
• Add in garlic, onion, carrot, cauliflower florets and diced sweet potato. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften.
• Next stir in spices: ground turmeric, cumin, cinnamon. Let spices cook for 30 more seconds to enhance flavors, then add the chicken thighs back into the pot. Slowly add in chicken broth, then couscous and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and make sure the chicken is well coated with the broth. Bring to to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the lid, stir and allow to simmer uncovered for 10-15 more minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. At this point, you can remove the chicken and shred then add back to the pot, or you can leave as is and serve with larger chicken pieces (and eat with a fork and knife). I like to shred the chicken but either way this recipe is simply fabulous.
• Next, gently stir in the chopped pistachios, parsley and dried cherries. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more salt and pepper if desired. Serve with extra parsley + a few crushed pistachios on top. Serves 6. Enjoy!
