CHICKEN TAGINE WITH TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the chutney, place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil for about 10 minutes. Then reduce heat and simmer until the water has completely evaporated and the sauce has thickened into a jam-like consistency. Reserve.
• For the rice, saute the onion in olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add the rice, pepper, and turmeric and stir to combine. Add the broth and salt, and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until rice is al dente.
• For the chicken, saute the onion in olive oil until translucent. Add chicken strips and saute until almost golden on all sides. Add ginger, cinnamon, and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the zucchini and leeks and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Serve the chicken and vegetables over the rice. Top with a dollop of chutney and garnish with black caraway seeds.
