    - thighs; in bite-size dice
    1/2 Lemon, juiced
    1/2 ts Hot, sweet or smoked
    - paprika
    1/8 ts Ground black pepper
    2 ts Store-bought or homemade
    - xawaash blend

    5 cl Garlic; minced
    1 sm Jalapeno (opt); stemmed,
    - halved
    1 md Red bell pepper, sliced

    - (opt)

    In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm up 2
    tablespoons oil. Stir in the onion and cook, stirring
    occasionally, until soft, 6 to 7 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the chicken, lemon
    juice, paprika, black pepper, 1 teaspoon xawaash blend
    and 1 teaspoon salt; mix until evenly coated.

    Once the onion finishes cooking, add the garlic and
    jalape├▒o (if using) and cook, stirring occasionally,
    until the garlic softens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the
    chicken and turn up the heat to medium-high. Let the
    chicken cook, undisturbed, until it is cooked almost all
    the way through, 4 to 5 minutes, then stir the chicken
    and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer until it is cooked
    through and browned.

    Add the bell peppers, cilantro and remaining 1 teaspoon
    xawaash blend and mix together. If you need a little
    more oil, add a drizzle. Turn down the heat to
    medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid and let the
    suqaar cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell
    peppers become tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and add
    more salt if youΓÇÖd like.

    Serve the chicken suqaar with a flatbread of your
    choice, or over rice and with a salad. Chicken suqaar
    can last 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.

    NOTE:To prepare your own xawaash blend, add 4 ts ground
    cumin, 1 ts ground coriander, 1/2 ts ground black
    pepper, 1/8 ts ground cloves, 1/8 ts ground cinnamon &
    1/8 t ground cardamom to a small nonstick pan. Toast
    over low heat, stirring continuously, for 1 minute or
    until the spice mix becomes fragrant, then stir in 1/2
    ts ground turmeric. Makes 6 teaspoons.
