👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Prepare the chicken and aromatics: Pat the chicken pieces dry. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Sear the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot and season with salt, pepper, turmeric, ginger, cumin, and cinnamon. Sear the chicken on all sides until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add vegetables and liquid: Stir in the sliced carrots. Pour in enough water or chicken broth to mostly cover the chicken. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and the lemon juice.
- 4
Simmer the stew: Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Add olives and thicken: Stir in the soaked and drained green olives. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley, with couscous or crusty bread.
