Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cooking pot on a medium high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. When the oil is simmering add the chicken to the bottom of the pot and brown the breasts, aa couple minutes of cooking on each side. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked through at this point since you'll be cooking it more later.
- Once browned, remove the chicken from the pot and place on a paper towel lined plate. Turn off the heat for a few minutes as you make the puree in the next step.
- Place the roughly chopped onion, tomatoes, ginger and garlic in a blender and blend into a puree. Set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pot you were using before and bring to a medium high heat. When the oil starts to simmer add the sliced onions and fry until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the spices ( turmeric, cumin, coriander cinnamon) and continue to fry the onions another minute before adding the puree mixture. Keep sautéing the onions another 3 minutes. Add the blended onion/tomato mixture to the pot.
- Return the chicken to the dish and add the carrots, chicken stock, sugar and vinegar. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot with a fitted lid and let stew for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot. Add the chopped dates and stir to mix in well. On a cutting board or plate use a couple of forks to shred the chicken into bite sized pieces. Stir the chicken back in. Taste and season with salt as needed.
- Serve over rice or cauliflower rice (if you want a paleo meal) and enjoy!

ONE-PAN MOROCCAN STEWED CHICKEN
My husband came across this recipe in Men's Health magazine and asked me to make this. We just had this tonight for the first time, and we loved it! We appreciated its simplicity, its uniqueness, and the fact that it is a well-balanced dish - lean protein, veggies, beans, and whole grains - all in one pan (or almost all in one pan)! It has a wonderful flavor - that lovely sweet and spicy blend that is a mainstay of Indian/Moroccan food. I also loved that this was ready in under 30 minutes. Yummylicious!

MOROCCAN STEWED CHICKEN
I got this recipe from my husbands Mens Health Magazine. I made a few tweaks, one of which was to use boneless skinless breasts rather than the boneless skinless thighs the recipe called for. By making these changes I was able to get the fat down from over 16 grams to a little over 5, and cut the calories by more than half! This went together quickly and was very delicious. The house smells heavenly while this is cooking! (This could easily be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken.)Would make an impressive dinner for guests with very little effort!
