HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

02

Add 1 pound of chicken thigh pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

03

Add 1 chopped medium onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

04

Return the chicken to the pot. Add 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes, 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 medium cubed potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.

05

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

06

Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a bay leaf during simmering. This dish pairs wonderfully with couscous or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Adjust spice levels to your preference.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute chicken breast for thighs, though cooking time might be slightly less. Sweet potatoes can be used instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor profile. Vegetable broth works well as a substitute for chicken broth.
