Ingredients
1 large brown onion sliced

1 cup of organic frozen peas or chick peas
- Extra water or broth to top up
Directions
Fry the onion in a heavy based pan or tagine over a medium heat
- Add the spices and fry until fragrant
Place the chicken in the pot and brown off if you have time - coating in the spices
Add the broth and honey and mix to combine (top up broth to about 5cm)
Cover and slowly bring to a gentle simmer over about 10 minutes (if using thigh fillets, look at the note below)
- Cook for a further 10 minutes before placing the vegetables around the chicken
Keep covered for another 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. (reduce this time if using boneless thighs)
