Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 teaspoons minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook, skin side down, until skin is browned and crisp, about 6 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until browned, 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons garlic and spices; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in carrots and return chicken to pot. Stir in broth.

  • Remove chicken from soup. When cool enough to handle, tear chicken into large pieces, discarding skin and bones. Return meat to pot. Add chickpeas and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
