African Chicken

This is one of Luke's favorite meals. It's really good and pretty quick and healthy.

1 tbsp. Olive Oil
3 chicken breasts, cut in half (I use 2 cut into small chunks)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp. fresh ginger, chopped
1/2 tsp. paprika
3/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/4 tsp. ground turmeric
1/4-1/2 cup chicken broth or water
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes (I have also used a whole can of diced tomatoes. Either is good!)
1 cup canned garbanzo beans (I use a whole can/ drained)
1 zucchini, sliced

Season the chicken with a little salt and brown them in the olive oil. Add the onion and cook it until it's translucent. Add the spices, then everything else and simmer it for 15 minutes.

Serve with couscous and sprinkle with chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice (I use lime juice and cilantro since that is what I always have on hand).

I've also added yellow squash instead of zucchini or use both.
