How to Make One Pot Moroccan Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a flameproof casserole dish or large oven-safe skillet with a lid over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
  3. Stir in 2 teaspoons of Moroccan seasoning and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  4. Remove the onion mixture from the pan and set aside.
  5. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high.
  6. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  7. Return the onion mixture to the pan. Pour in the chicken stock, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  10. Add the cubed potatoes around the chicken. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  11. Stir in the drained chickpeas. Cover and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and heated thoroughly.
  12. Serve immediately, spooning the flavorful pan sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
