Moroccan Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken thighs
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1/2 cup green olives, pitted
• 2 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, add the paprika, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
2. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Then in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add in the pieces of chicken in a single layer. Cook them until they become golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip them halfway through and cook for another 3 minutes. Once cooked, move the chicken to a plate.
4. Reduce the heat to medium, then add in the onions and cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes). 
5. Next, add in the ginger, garlic and spice mix. Cook until it becomes fragrant (30 seconds).
6. Stir in the broth, stirring so no clumps form.
7. Add the chicken back into the pan, then add the lemon slices and olives around the chicken.
8. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through (25-30 minutes).
9. Garnish with cilantro, serve and enjoy!
