Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 lb boned , skinned chicken thighs
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 large white onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp dried oregano (preferably mexican )
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp ancho chile powder
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 cup chopped ripe plum tomatoes ( about 2 large) or fire-roasted diced canned tomatoes
2 tsp orange zest
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup cooked chickpeas ( garbanzos), rinsed if canned
1 cup pimiento-stuffed small green olives

Directions:

Bring broth to a simmer in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and lower heat to a simmer. Cook chicken, covered, 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through; transfer to a plate. Pour broth into a large bowl and set aside. Wipe out pot.
Add oil, onion, and salt to pot and cook over medium heat until onion softens and is starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
Stir in cumin, coriander, oregano, and garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add ancho chile powder, cayenne, chopped tomatoes, reserved broth, orange zest, and quinoa. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until a white ring appears around each quinoa seed, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, shred chicken.
Add shredded chicken, chickpeas, and olives and heat through.
