How to make it:
  1. Prep Time: Approximately 15 minutes.
  2. Cook Time: Approximately 30 minutes.
  3. Season chicken with salt and brown in a large saucepan (or pot) over medium heat.
  4. Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. Saute onion, garlic, carrots and celery in the same pan.
  6. When tender, stir in ginger, paprika, cumin, oregano and turmeric, stir fry for about 1 minute, then mix in broth and tomatoes.
  7. Return chicken to pan, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  8. Add zucchini to pan and bring to simmering once again; cover pan and cook for about 15 minutes, or until zucchini is cooked through and tender.

  10. Original recipe calls for a can of chickpeas to be added with the zucchini. I have omitted this and instead, serve this dish with spinach couscous.
