Ingredients
 
 

  • boneless skinless chicken thighs cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and half the cumin. Brown chicken pieces 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. Lower heat to medium. Sauté onion 4 minutes until softened. Add garlic, remaining cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine and scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Return chicken to pot.
  4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered 15 minutes. Add cauliflower and zucchini. Simmer another 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. Stir in spinach until wilted. Adjust seasoning and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
