Ksh300.00Price
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 cup dried plums (prunes), pitted
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
- Cooked couscous or rice for serving
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or a tagine over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown it in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it develops a golden-brown color. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté them until they become translucent and fragrant, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the spices (cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger, and cayenne pepper) and cook for another minute to toast the spices and release their flavors.
- Return the browned chicken to the skillet and add the dried plums.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet or tagine, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the dried plums have softened and absorbed some of the flavorful liquid.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the Chicken and Dried Plum with rice.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness.
