Step-by-Step Instructions for Flavorful Persian Chicken
- Begin by seasoning chicken thighs with turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet, searing for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
- Pour in chicken broth or water, bringing to a gentle boil while scraping any bits off the bottom.
- Stir in dried apricots and slivered almonds or walnuts, mixing well for a minute.
- Cover the skillet and simmer on low for 45 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as necessary with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat, let rest briefly, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
