- 2 tsps ground Cumin
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp sweet, Hungarian paprika

- ½ cup dry white wine

- 1 cup black Olives (pitted and halved)

Preparation steps
1.
In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, and turmeric. Sprinkle the spices over both sides of the chicken until well coated, Let chicken stand for 1 hour in the spices.
2.
In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until it is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Reduce heat, add garlic, shallots, sage and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes, or until shallots are translucent and fragrant. Add wine and cook, scraping up all the browned bits, until liquid has almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
3.
Return chicken to the pan. Add broth and bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Add olives and tomatoes, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.
4.
Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Spoon vegetables and sauce over chicken. Garnish with fresh sage. Serve.
