Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
coarse salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 piece fresh ginger, 2 inches long, peeled
1 cinnamon stick
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pinch saffron (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup couscous
fresh cilantro stem, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place flour in a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour, shaking off excess.

  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return chicken to pot. Add broth, sweet potatoes, and, if using, saffron.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sweet potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Discard ginger and cinnamon.
  • Stir in lemon juice, and season stew with salt and pepper.
  • While stew is simmering prepare couscous according to package directions.
  • Serve chicken stew with couscous; garnished with cilantro, if desired.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken from the weekend, and I used it to make this stew. It was a great way to use up the leftovers and create a new and delicious meal.

I love the vibrant colors of this stew. The orange sweet potatoes, the green cilantro, and the red paprika make it a very visually appealing dish.

I made this stew in my slow cooker. It was so easy! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I had some roasted sweet potatoes leftover from Thanksgiving, and I used them to make this stew. It was a great way to use up the leftovers and create a new and delicious meal.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I served this stew over cauliflower rice instead of couscous. It was still very satisfying and delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this stew without the chicken. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like chickpeas and lentils, to make it more hearty.

This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet potatoes and the chicken, and they don't even notice the other vegetables.

This stew is a great make-ahead meal. You can cook it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve. It's also freezer-friendly, so you can make a big batch and freeze it for later.

I love the combination of spices in this stew. The cumin, coriander, and paprika give it a warm and earthy flavor. The cinnamon and ginger add a bit of sweetness and depth of flavor.

This stew is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch on the weekend and then have it for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potatoes, but they were surprisingly good in this stew. They added a nice sweetness and creaminess that balanced out the savory flavors of the chicken and spices.

I've made this stew twice now, and it's quickly become a favorite. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery. Both times, the stew was delicious.

This Moroccan chicken stew with sweet potatoes is an absolute delight! The flavors are so rich and complex, and the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it over couscous, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.
