INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 preserved lemon
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sicilian Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Cumin, Ground
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground
8 small bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dried apricots, halved
3 McCormick® Bay Leaves
1/4 cup halved green olives
DIRECTIONS
1. Remove and discard pulp from preserved lemon. Rinse peel to remove excess salt. Cut peel into 1/4-inch pieces (about 2 tablespoons). Set aside. Mix flour, sea salt, cinnamon and cumin in shallow dish. Coat chicken evenly with flour mixture.
2. Heat oil in large deep skillet or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 10 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove from skillet.
3. Stir onion, bell pepper and carrot into skillet. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Add tomatoes, broth, apricots and bay leaves; mix well. Bring to boil. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in preserved lemon and olives; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove bay leaves. Serve with couscous, if desired.
