Method
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm over rice or with flatbread.
For a lower-sodium version, use half the salt and double the lemon juice. This keeps beautifully for 3 days in the fridge—just add a splash of broth when reheating.
