Ingredients

3 1/2 pounds chicken parts

3 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, halved, and cut into 1/4-inch slices

1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Ground Cumin

1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger

1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pitted and quartered dates, (about 6 ounces)

1/3 cup whole blanched almonds

Directions

Coat chicken with flour. Heat oil in large deep skillet or Dutch oven on medium heat. Add half of the chicken; brown about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding onion. Return all chicken to skillet.

Mix cinnamon, cumin, ginger and turmeric in small bowl; add to skillet. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes to evenly coat chicken and onions with spices.

Stir in broth, lemon juice and salt. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in dates and almonds; cover and cook 20 minutes. Remove cover; simmer additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve with rice or couscous, if desired.
