Method

For the Stewed Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute. Then, add the chicken pieces, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Chickpeas and Broth

    Stir in the rinsed chickpeas and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Add Lime and Cilantro

    Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro just before serving.

For the Lime-Cumin Yogurt

  1. 6

    Mix the Yogurt

    In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lime juice, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
