Moroccan Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon
- 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, halved, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 8 pieces chicken, skin removed (or boneless chicken breasts if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup green olives
Cut 1 lemon into 8 wedges. Squeeze enough juice from second lemon to measure 2 tablespoons; set wedges and juice aside. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper; sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add next 5 ingredients; stir 1 minute. Add broth; bring to boil. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Add lemon wedges. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Add olives and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to skillet. Increase heat to high; boil uncovered to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.

Susan, I made a copy in my word file and will give it a try. I like the fact that I have most of the ingredients in my pantry.
