Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, separated
1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs, skinless and boneless, cut into 1/2 inch strips (or skinless
salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste
1/2 lemon, seeded and very thinly sliced
3 large carrots, very thinly sliced (preferably on a mandoline)
3 large garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1 tbsp water
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 pinch cinnamon
1 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup mixed herb-marinated pitted olive (3 oz)
chopped roasted almonds , for serving
couscous , for serving

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat 2 T. of olive oil, over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken to the heated skillet, in a single layer. Cook chicken, turning once, until it is browned but not fully cooked through. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, trying to leave as much oil in the skillet as possible.
Add the lemon to the skillet in a single layer. Cook them, turning once, until browned on both sides - about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 T. olive oil, the carrots and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until carrots are just slightly soft - this should take about 2 minutes. Add the water and cook until carrots are crisp tender and the liquid has evaporated - this should take about 2 minutes. Stir in the cumin, paprika and cinnamon and cook for about 1 minute more.
Return chicken to the skillet, and any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, olives and seson with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through - this should take about 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a serving bowl and sprinkle with almonds.
Serve with couscous.
