Directions:Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken. Add the zucchini and saute' until just tender, 5-7 minutes. Transfer the zucchini mixture to a large casserole dish.

Place the casserole over low heat. Add the canned tomatoes and their juices, the fresh tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, basil, oregano, pepper, salt, fennel seeds, and parsley. Cook uncovered, stirring often for 30 minutes.
Stir in the kidney beans, chick-peas, dill, and lemon juice. Cook for another 15 minutes. Stir well and adjust the seasonings to taste. Serve with garnishes.
If you use the crock pot simmer all day on low. Add the beans 30 minutes before serving. |
