Moroccan spiced chicken thighs cooked in one skillet for a flavorful and aromatic meal.
Ingredients:
  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 3 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 3 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • olive oil, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil, or to taste
  • 0.5 white onion, chopped
  • 1 cup pimento-stuffed green olives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
  • Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper and allow them to sit at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for the perfect temperature to bake your delicious dish.
  • In a bowl, mix together chicken broth, paprika, cumin, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest.
  • In a smoking hot cast iron skillet, sear chicken thighs, starting skin-side down, for 4 minutes. Flip and cook until skin is crispy, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to a plate. Saute onion until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully pour in chicken broth mixture and scrape up any browned bits from the skillet.
  • Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet and drizzle them with some of the delicious cooking liquid.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken thighs are fully cooked, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Place olives into the skillet, then generously drizzle lemon juice over the thighs. Finally, sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
