3 ml cumin 3/4 tsp
3 ml ginger 3/4 tsp
3 ml coriander 3/4 tsp
2 ml turmeric 1/2 tsp

In large bowl; combine cumin, ginger, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Add chicken, tossing to coat.

In large skillet; melt butter with oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or until brown on all sides. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of fat. Add onions and garlic; pour in 1/3 cup (75 ml) chicken broth and honey, stirring and spooning over chicken.

Arrange half of lemon slices over chicken. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Baste occasionally.
