In a large skillet or tajine pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until softened. Add the carrots and red pepper and cook for another few minutes until slightly softened. Add the spices (cumin, paprika, ginger, turmeric) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
