Directions
Step 1
Heat a large tagine or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear them in the hot oil until browned on each side, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, ground coriander, ground ginger, and paprika. Stir and cook for about 1 minute, releasing the spices' aroma.
Step 5
Add the chicken back to the pot along with the chicken broth and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the chicken to cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Uncover and add the sliced green olives and lemon. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with toasted almonds and chopped cilantro before serving.
