Introduction
This is not identical to any single recipe; I blended ideas from 3 different recipes to come up with the version that I thought sounded best. I also simplified some of the preparation and it turned out fine.

Ingredients
-
Olive oil spray
2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 lbs boneless chicken breast, cut to 1.5 to 2 inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, chopped
4 large carrots, chopped
5-6 cloves garlic, minced or chopped
2 T Ras el Hanout spice blend
2 14 oz cans 99% fat free chicken stock
1 15 oz can chickpeas (garbanzos), drained
dried apricots - 15 whole or 30 halves, chopped
1 T honey
1/3 - 1/2 cup sliced almonds
Tips
Serve with couscous, rice, or other grain blend.
Directions
Spray dutch oven pot with olive oil spray, then add 2 T extra virgin olive oil. Sear chicken pieces on each side, about 8-10 minutes total. Remove chicken from pan.
In same pan, saute onions, carrots, garlic until starting to soften, about 8 minutes. Add small amount of extra olive oil if needed to prevent sticking or browning. Stir in 2 T Ras el Hanout spices and saute for about 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
Add chicken stock and apricot pieces and bring to a boil. Add chicken, stir well, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let simmer for 60-90 minutes.
Stir in drained chickpeas, honey, and most of the sliced almonds. Bring to a rapid simmer. If sauce is too thin for your taste, let some liquid evaporate. Serve with remaining sliced almonds sprinkled on top.
Can use chopped fresh cilantro as a garnish if desired.
