Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 3 1/2-to-4-pound chicken, cut up into 8 pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium onions, peeled and diced
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 bunches of fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tomatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 pound shelled fresh or frozen peas

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy sauté pan. Add the chicken pieces, sautéing just to brown the skin on both sides. Remove the chicken pieces, and drain on paper towels.
  • Stir the onions, garlic, and honey into the same pan. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are almost caramelized. This may take about 20 minutes.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pan, skin side up, and sprinkle on 1/4 teaspoon more pepper, the cinnamon, and the parsley, stirring to incorporate. Add the lemon juice and the tomatoes. Pour in chicken broth, enough just to cover the chicken, and stir in the tomato paste. Simmer the chicken, covered, for about 40 minutes, then stir in the peas. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the peas are done. Taste, adjust the seasonings, and serve with rice or wheat berries (see page 266).

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it was the worst chicken dish I've ever had. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a complete disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was watery and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the chicken and sauce.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less harissa if you don't like spicy food.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make this dish during the week.

I love this recipe! The chicken is always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is delicious. I often serve this dish with couscous or rice.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to follow. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and the cooking time was perfect. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and aromatic.
