Start by introducing the Moroccan chicken recipe and discussing the ingredients.

Chop onion and garlic.

Measure out 3/4 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt.

Season the boneless skinless chicken thighs with the measured spices.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the pan and brown them.

Once browned, add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan and stir until the onion is transparent.

Add a can of drained garbanzo beans and 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the pan and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for about 15 minutes.

Serve the chicken and chickpeas over quinoa instead of couscous.
