Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a Dutch oven or large pot on medium high heat.
-
Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Place them in the pot (in batches if needed) and brown on both sides, transferring them to a plate or bowl as when they're done searing.
-
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until slightly softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in garlic, coriander, cumin, paprika, turmeric and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute or until the spices are aromatic and lightly toasted.
-
Return the chicken to the pot and stir to coat with the spice mixture.
-
Pour in diced tomatoes and enough chicken stock to cover the chicken pieces two thirds of the way.
-
Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover and simmer on medium low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Add the mushrooms, sliced red peppers, and lemon zest. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has slightly reduced.
