DIRECTIONS

HEAT oil in a large heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. Stir in garlic, paprika, cumin, ginger and cinnamon. Add broth and bring to a boil. Add chicken, cover, reduce heat and simmer 20-25 minutes. Add carrots and raisins. Cover and simmer 10-15 minutes. Cook until carrots are fork tender.

REMOVE carrots and chicken with a slotted spoon. Set aside.

ADD lemon juice and olives to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook, uncovered for 5-6 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and carrots back to pan and warm through.
