Ingredients
- 1 large onion, peeled and diced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 medium apples, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 5 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, breasts, thighs or drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 (15 ounces) can low-sodium chicken broth

Directions
(serves 6, 1-2 pieces of chicken and ¾ cup vegetable mixture per serving):

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon, coriander, cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.

Pat chicken with paper towels. Remove skin. Cut thighs from drumsticks (if using whole legs) and cut breast in half.
-
Rub chicken pieces with spice mixture.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion, carrots and apples. Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 15-minutes. Transfer to medium bowl.
-
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Brown chicken in 2 batches. 2-4 minutes per side. Return all chicken pieces to skillet and add broth. Bring to simmer. Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F, about 15-25 minutes depending on size of the pieces. Transfer cooked chicken to a clean plate.

- Try the Moroccan Carrot Salad or Sautéed Greens.
- Try using dried currants or apricots in place of raisins.
