Ingredients

6 Thighs Chicken

1/4 Spoon Cinnamon

1/4 Spoon Cumin

1 Sliced Onion

1 Tin Tomatoes

1 Tin Chickpeas

150ml Chicken Stock

2 Tablespoons Corriander

1 Sliced Orange

Method

Pat 6 chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season them with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin.

Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned, 3/4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add 1 onion sliced to the pan. Cook until the onion is softened. Add the remaining 1 tsp of cinnamon and cumin and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.

Add tin of tomatoes, tin of chickpeas, and 150ml chicken stock, 2 tablespoons coriander and 1 orange cut into slices; bring to a simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits. Return the chicken and juice to the pan; cover and cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a clean plate. Bring the cooking liquid back to a boil; stir in 1 cup of whole wheat couscous.
