Mix together spices.
Dust the chicken with the ground spices, spray lightly with vegetable oil, and sprinkle with coarse salt.
In a heavy skillet, bring the chicken stock, carrots, and onions to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir in honey, lemon juice, and dates. Simmer for 1 minute or until the mixture is hot.
Meanwhile, grill, broil, or pan-fry the chicken for 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Remove chicken from heat and slice each fillet on the bias into thin strips.
Arrange the sliced chicken, date mixture, and sauce over the hot rice on a platter or individual serving plates. Sprinkle with the slivered almonds and garnish with green carrot tops.
