How to Make North African Style Chicken
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Place 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a resealable bag. Add the spice mixture, seal the bag, and shake to evenly coat the chicken.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- Pour in 1/2 cup orange juice and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Serve the North African chicken immediately over couscous or rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
