Moroccan Chicken with Lemon

CHARMOULA
1 yellow onion, diced
3/4 cup chopped parsley, and a little more for garnish
1 teaspoon honey / I used several drops liquid stevia
1/2 teaspoon each:
turmeric
ground ginger
mild paprika
ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

CHICKEN
2 tablespoons olive oil
6-8 chicken thighs, bone-in, with skins
1 cup Imagine Organic Chicken stock
1 teaspoon lemon zest (grated peel)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 – 1 teaspoon sea salt (check sodium content of stock!)

Mix the charmoula ingredients in a medium bowl.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly browned.

Add the stock and onion mixture. Bring the stock to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover and cook gently for 25-28 minutes, until the chicken is tender and no pink flesh remains.

Remove the chicken pieces to a platter. Turn the heat up to medium-high and let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, until reduced enough that you can almost complete a figure eight on the bottom of the pan with your spatula.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the remaining parsley.
