Ingredients
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 TBSP coriander seeds
- 1 TBSP cumin seeds
- 3 TBSPS vegetable oil
- 2 (yellow) onions, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated or minced
- 1 small green Serrano chile, seeded and minced
- 2 tsps salt
- 1 (14 1/2 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 chicken, cut into serving pieces and skin removed
- 1/4 tsp saffron threads
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Combine the cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and cumin in a mortar or coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onins and saute, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes or until browned. Add the spice mixture, garlic, ginger, chile, and salt and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until some of the liquid has evaporated.
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the onion mixture over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 to 8 hours, until chicken is tender. (At 3-4 hours the chicken will still be firm and hold it's shape; at 6-8 hours, the meat will be falling off the bone -- you decide!)
- ***In a small bowl, combine the saffron and half-and-half. Let soak for 30 minutes. Stir the saffron cream into the chicken 30 minutes before the end of cooking time.
- Season with salt to taste, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with the cilantro (if using).
