How to Make Moroccan Chicken With Apricots

  1. Season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion to the skillet and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in flour, cinnamon, cumin, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form.
  6. Add chopped apricots, lemon juice, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Alternatively, you can transfer the sauce and chicken to a serving dish and mix gently.
  8. Sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds before serving over couscous or rice.
