Combine spices and salt in a dish, then rub over chicken thighs; let stand about 5 minutes. Heat oil in a skillet over medium; add chicken, skin side down, and saute until browned on both sides, 10 minutes total. Remove chicken and pour off all but 1 T. drippings.
Add onion and saute 3 minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic, pepper flakes, and cinnamon stick; cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Deglaze with wine and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Simmer until liquid evaporates.
Add tomatoes, broth, chickpeas, olives, honey, lemon, and bay leaf; stir to combine. Arrange reserved chicken on top, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce is reduced, 20–25 minutes.

*sigh* I'm on a "no flour, no sugar" diet. How well do you think this would work without the honey?
Re: Anybody Game For Another Dinner?? - cjs - 09-08-2006
none at all??? less than a tsp. per person...
without honey? probably wouldn't be able to tell...

Would this work with mixed chicken pieces? I don't care for thighs [chicken thighs that is], would it do with breasts?

I think I might try this this weekend. Lol chick peas....I was a bit confused on those because we call them garbanzos beans. (makes note to get extra and make some humus).
It'll be nice to have some real food

I will join AGAIN!!! Always love a party!!! I will review the recipe and if possible will use chicken breasts as well----the thighs are kinda off our menu (too much fat for DH's diet---but I will judge upon closer inspection). Garbanzos (chick peas here)are great----HUMUS----bring it on---and we have an awesome tahini product here--I see homemade pitas too--Yummmmm----
Re: Anybody Game For Another Dinner?? - cjs - 09-08-2006
oh good, this will be a fun one.
The article in issue 49 says chix breasts are fine to use, with this caveat - "..but to keep them from drying out, don't add them back to the stew until it has simmered for 15 min. Then cook them "just" till done.
