This comforting Moroccan-style stew combines tender chicken thighs with the natural sweetness of carrots and sweet potatoes. Infused with warm spices like turmeric and ginger, it is a perfect one-pot meal that achieves complex flavors without requiring special clay cookware.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper, then brown them skin-side down for about 5-6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, turmeric, ginger, cumin, and cinnamon, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any flavorful browned bits.
Return the chicken to the pot and scatter the sliced carrots and sweet potato cubes around the meat.
Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pot tight, and simmer for 35-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Taste the sauce and adjust salt or pepper if needed, then serve hot garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
