This Moroccan chicken dish is big on aroma and spice but surprisingly simple to prepare.

500g chicken fillet, cut into 2cm dice
3 tablespoons (1/4 cup) flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
2 onions, sliced
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons sumac
3 tablespoons (1/4 cup) sultanas
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
50g toasted pine nuts
3 tablespoons (1/4 cup) chopped fresh coriander
Juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
Couscous, Greek yoghurt and Lebanese bread, to serve

Method

1.

Toss chicken in the flour. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large frypan over high heat until hot, then cook chicken in batches until golden and set aside.
2.

Heat remaining oil in pan. Add onions, reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, stirring, until golden and softened. Return chicken to pan with spices, sultanas and stock. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes until heated through and thickened slightly. Stir in pine nuts, coriander and lemon juice. Serve with couscous, yoghurt, bread and lemon.
