Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup crushed tomatoes, with liquid
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
½ cup water
¼ cup olives, or to taste
2 tablespoons raisins, or to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro, or to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add chicken, tomatoes, carrots, celery, water, olives, raisins, ginger, salt, paprika, cumin, turmeric, oregano, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper; mix to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken has cooked through and flavors have mingled, 25 to 35 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice and garnish with cilantro.

Cook's Note:

Serve with a generous amount of harissa for friends to use as much or as little as they would like. You can purchase harissa at a specialty store, or make some in your food processor.
