Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

  • ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • ¼ cup raisins

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium; stir in paprika, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, and brown sugar; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, stir in chocolate chips until melted, then return chicken pieces to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink at the bone, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in raisins and cook 3 minutes longer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
