Head to the store and pick up almonds, golden raisins, onion, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the ginger you could follow this main course with the Ginger Cake with Crystallized Ginger Frosting as a dessert. It works well as a main course.
Instructions
Heat oven to 400 F. Rinse the chicken thighs and pat dry.
Cut each thigh in half. Season the pieces with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
Add the onion, carrots, and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the broth and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan, for 1 minute.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, and the remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and whisk in the yogurt. Stir in the raisins, almonds, rice, and browned chicken.
Transfer to an oiled 8-by-11-inch baking dish or 2-quart casserole. If using the phyllo, butter the tops of 6 sheets, stack them on top of one another, and place on the casserole, molding to fit. If not using the phyllo, cover the casserole with foil.
Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Asian works really well with Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.

Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc
The Lang & Reed 2015 Chenin Blanc – Napa Valley has peach and tropical fruit that are immediately on the nose, with the necessary hint of honeycomb (the traditional varietal character), and a lesser expression of apple and citrus. On the palate, the aromas are mirrored and given an even stronger presence with yellow apple exotic citrus notes, which give it an accurate tartness. The texture is tender, and the flavors broaden with a touch of saline minerality, which leads into bright crisp acidity, adding to the wine’s refreshing character. It will blossom and gain in complexity with additional bottle time.
