Moroccan Chicken

Hello my fellow foodies!!

A couple of weeks ago I was having a hard time deciding where I wanted to cook from, and while I was perusing my photo albums on my computer I noticed that I had taken a picture of a recipe for Moroccan chicken. Upon reading the ingredient list I realized that I had everything I needed for the most part, and could easily omit the items I didn't have. It's an easy dish to make and very very tasty. Makes great leftovers as well!! Once again, I'll post the pictures to this post once I get them off my phone.

3 Boneless chicken breasts
1 large onion
4 cloves or garlic, minced
1 tsp each of cinnamon, cumin and nutmeg (nutmeg was omitted as my other half doesn't like it)
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup orange juice
1 tbsp liquid honey
3 carrots thinly sliced
1 cup couscous (I used rice instead as couscous doesn't like me)
4 green onions (omitted)


Slice onion into thin wedges and stir in a large frying pan with garlic, spices, broth, juice and honey and add the carrots. Place chicken on top and boil gently over med-high heat, uncovered until onion is softened (approx 10 minutes). Turn chicken halfway through. Partially cover and reduce heat to med-low. Simmer, turning chicken occasionally until it is cooked all the way through (25-ish minutes). Remove chicken to plate and cover with tinfoil. Stir in rice, and add juice and broth as needed until rice is cooked, and then remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Serve.

It was a DELICIOUS meal. Just make sure your actually adding orange juice and not orange DRINK. I made the mistake of buying Minute Maid orange drink thinking it was juice. It still tasted good in the meal, but I think the actual juice would be that much better!!

Thanks for reading, and happy cooking! Next post: Butter Chicken :)
