Darn, I made this awhile ago! Absolutely fantastic! I did use boneless boobs, so I didn't simmer for 30 minutes. Delicious!!

This was a winner and very easy to prepare. I cooked the chicken on stove top. The eggplant was omitted (we hate it-to be quite honest) and I usually would sub a zucchini but I used a little bit of red and orange bell pepper. Something for me seemed incomplete with this recipe-so I added about 1/2 teaspoon of ras el hanout when I browned the chicken breasts in the butter. I also used a combination of smoked paprika and sweet paprika. The last 10 minutes of cooking the lid was removed and the heat increased to medium-low to thicken the sauce. The sauce was delicious over Recipe #335255. Garnished with fresh cilantro and parsley. Made for Winter NA*ME Tag game. Come play!

Very tasty! When I tagged this recipe I intended to cook it in my tangine however, i ended up using my crock pot instead. I browned six chicken thighs and dusted them with sweet Hungarian paprika. Then I combined the rest of the ingredients into the crock pot cooked it for 8 hours on low. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Made for Winter NAME tag.
