Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil and butter in a 6- to 8-qt. heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Add chicken and cook until medium brown, approximately 6-8 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook 3-5 additional minutes until brown on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and sauté until soft and golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add cinnamon, turmeric, chili pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Return chicken to pot and add apricots, prunes, olives, chicken broth, and ¼ C. parsley. Bring mixture to a boil, remove pot and cover; place in 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. Remove from oven, place chicken on platter and top with remaining parsley and lemon zest.
