Directions
-
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the skinless chicken pieces and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.

Sprinkle the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and hot pepper flakes evenly over the chicken.
-
Pour in 1 cup of water, add the minced garlic, whole cloves, and lemon juice.
-
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer gently for 15 minutes until cooked through.
-
Remove the lid and discard the whole cloves from the pan.
-
Carefully transfer the chicken pieces to a serving platter and keep them warm.
-
Increase the heat to medium-high and boil the remaining liquid in the pan for about 5 minutes, or until it reduces to approximately 1/4 cup of sauce.
-
Stir the chopped fresh coriander or parsley into the reduced sauce.
-
Spoon the warm sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
