One-Pot Chicken with Dates and Caramelised Onion is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines tender chicken with sweet dates and caramelized onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the sliced onions. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until they are soft and caramelized.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle in the ground cumin and coriander. Mix well to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the chopped dates and chicken broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  7. Place the browned chicken thighs back into the pot, skin-side up. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  9. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar if desired.
  10. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken for more flavor.
  • Feel free to adjust spices to your liking.
  • Serve with rice or bread to soak up the sauce.
