Braised Chicken With Artichokes and Olives
['8 organic boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 11/2 pounds), trimmed of excess fat', 'Sea salt', 'Freshly ground black pepper', '3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil', '1 yellow onion, diced', '3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced', '1 teaspoon turmeric', '1/2 teaspoon ground cumin', '1/2 teaspoon ground coriander', 'Generous pinch red pepper flakes', '1 cinnamon stick, or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon', '1 bay leaf', '2 cups organic chicken broth, homemade or store-bought', '2 teaspoons grated lemon zest', '3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice', '1 cup canned chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and mixed with a spritz of lemon juice and a pinch of salt', '8 thawed frozen or jarred artichoke hearts (see note), quartered', '1/2 cup pitted green olives, such as picholine or manzanilla', '2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or cilantro']
Pat the chicken dry and season salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, working in batches if necessary, and cook until well browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Decrease the heat to medium. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft and slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in 1/4 cup of the broth to deglaze the pot, stirring to loosen any bits stuck to the pot. Stir in a pinch of salt and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Stir in the remaining 1 3/4 cups of broth, the lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the chicken, chickpeas, artichoke hearts, and olives and stir gently to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice. Taste; you may want to add another squeeze of lemon juice or pinch of salt. Garnish with the mint.
