Ingredients

2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks (5 cups)
2 cups frozen green peas
1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 skinless chicken thighs, skin and visible fat removed (about 1 1/3 pounds)

Steps:

In a 4 to 5 quart pot, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, cumin, salt, red pepper, and cinnamon until blended.
Stir in the raisins, onion, garlic, squash, peas, chick-peas, and chicken.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the chicken is opaque near the bone and the juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a sharp knife.
Enjoy!
