Answers: This sweet and spicy Moroccan chicken is an ideal fall and winter dish. Serve with whole grain couscous or flatbread.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp allspice
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1 cup fat-free, reduced sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup dried apricots
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans/chickpeas
PREPARATION:
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over a medium heat. Add onion, carrots and garlic and cook until onion and garlic are softened, about 5 minutes. Add cumin, paprika, cinnamon, ginger and allspice and blend well with vegetables.
Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.
Turn heat up to medium-high and add chicken thighs. Cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Add chicken broth, cilantro and apricots. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes. Add garbanzo beans and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Serve with couscous or flatbread.

Be sure to trim even the leanest pork chops of any remaining fat. The spice mixture seals in the moisture so you can enjoy lower fat yet succulent pork chops bursting with flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cumin
Freshly ground black pepper
4 4-5 ounce 1/2-3/4 inch boneless pork loin chops, trimmed of all visible fat
PREPARATION:
Combine spices in a small bowl using a small whisk. Rub spice mixture on both sides of each pork chop. Transfer chops to a dish large enough to accommodate chops in one layer, and cover; or place pork chops in a gallon-size resealable storage bag and lay flat on a plate.
Refrigerate and allow spices to penetrate the chops for 6-8 hours.
Preheat broiler. Place chops on a lightly oiled broiler rack and broil 5 minutes each side until done. These work equally well on the grill.
