Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken. Cook, turning occasionally, for 5-6 mins or until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat to low. Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add the cumin, ground coriander, turmeric and cinnamon. Cook, stirring, for 1 min or until aromatic. Return the chicken to the dish and pour over the stock. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to very low. Cook, covered, turning occasionally, for 40 mins or until the chicken is tender.
  3. Step 3

    Add the pumpkin and honey to the chicken mixture. Cook, covered, for 20 mins or until chicken is almost falling off the bone and pumpkin is tender. Add the chickpeas and stir to combine.
