2 cups chicken broth
¹⁄₄ cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
¹⁄₈ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¹⁄₂ cup raisins
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks (5 cups)
2 cups frozen green peas
1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 skinless chicken thighs, skin and visible fat removed (about 1 1/3 pounds)

directions

In a 4 to 5 quart pot, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, cumin, salt, red pepper, and cinnamon until blended.
Stir in the raisins, onion, garlic, squash, peas, chick-peas, and chicken.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the chicken is opaque near the bone and the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a sharp knife.
Enjoy!

Very easy prep work and great directions. The flavor is good and gets better as it marries in the refrigerator. My only change would be to add the seasonings, peas, and rasins closer to the end of the cook time.

Loved it! Made it exactly as written and thought it was terrific. I'll definitely make it again.

Very nice but I found it a bit too sweet and not spicy enough for my taste. Doubled the cayenne pepper and added 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes. Will reduce raisins next time. Used diced chicken breast. Took about 45 minutes to cook properly. Served with pita bread.
