A flavorful and aromatic chicken stew with a blend of spices and a hint of citrus.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Use freshly ground pepper for a more robust flavor.
Heat oil in a pan and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
In the same pan, sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic, ginger, and spices. Cook for 2 minutes.
Stir continuously to prevent the spices from burning.
Transfer the chicken and sautéed mixture to the crock-pot. Add the stock and green chili.
Ensure the chicken is submerged in the stock for even cooking.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender.
Avoid opening the lid frequently to maintain a consistent temperature.
Stir in lemon zest and garnish with parsley before serving.
Add the lemon zest just before serving to retain its fresh flavor.
