Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried thyme
8 skinless boneless chicken thighs
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes peeled butternut squash (about 12 ounces)
1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes peeled yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes; about 12 ounces)
1 cup dried apricot halves
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
3 cardamom pods
3 whole cloves

Steps:

  • Mix cumin and thyme in small bowl. Sprinkle chicken with spice mixture, then salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Push onion mixture to side of skillet. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to skillet. Working in batches, add chicken and cook until beginning to brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to bowl after each batch. Return chicken to skillet. Scatter onion mixture, squash, yams, and apricots over chicken. Pour tomatoes with juices over; bring to boil. Stir in cardamom and cloves. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until chicken and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer until juices are slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the pictures. Maybe I'll try again.

Overall, I really enjoyed this dish. It was flavorful, easy to make, and a great way to use up leftover chicken.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Next time, I'll use a milder pepper.

I'm not a big fan of yams, so I substituted sweet potatoes instead. They worked great and added a nice sweetness to the dish.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some cooked chicken breast in the fridge and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I made this dish exactly as the recipe said, but I found the sauce to be a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try using less dried apricots.

This was a great weeknight meal. It was easy to prepare and cook, and the leftovers were even better the next day.

I'm not usually a fan of squash, but this dish changed my mind. The squash was roasted to perfection and had a slightly caramelized flavor that I loved.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The chicken thighs were juicy and flavorful, and the squash, yams, and dried apricots were a perfect complement. I especially loved the sweet and tangy sauce.
