👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
💡 專業提示: Drying the chicken helps it brown better. - 2
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
💡 專業提示: Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. - 3
Add the chopped onions to the same pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Add the minced garlic, crushed coriander seeds, and cinnamon. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 專業提示: Toasting the spices releases their aroma and flavor. - 5
Stir in the tomato sauce (or crushed tomatoes), sugar, and bay leaf. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
💡 專業提示: Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. - 7
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Add the pitted prunes.
- 8
Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally.
💡 專業提示: The sauce should thicken slightly. If it becomes too thick, add a little more chicken stock or water. - 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
💡 專業提示: The sweetness from the prunes and sugar should be balanced by the salt and pepper. - 10
Serve hot, with the sauce spooned over the chicken. This dish is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or boiled rice.
💡 專業提示: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
