Moroccan Chicken

"I had this at a potluck and it was drop-dead delicious! A great balance of sweet and spice! I know there are lots of Moroccan Chicken recipes here on 'Zaar, but this one seems a little different to the rest. There are quite a few ingredients, but it is actually very simple to do. Prep time includes marinating time."

  1. Outstanding! I used chicken breasts instead of thighs. Did not have fresh parsley or nuts on hand, so omitted those. Will make this again!
     
  2. This was worth the wait to make, Terrific and easy to bake! Wasn't intimidated by adding a date! The recipe is really great! Combined 4 thighs and 2 breasts too, Next time will use just white meat, TRUE! 3/4 cups dates, 1/2 cups almonds I used today! Also added 6 kalamata olives...this recipe is here to stay! THANKS!
     
  3. I made this for my husbands 50th birthday dinner. It was a big hit. We enjoyed it so much that we are thinking about making it on New Years eve! The only thing I will change for the next time is using skinless boneless chicken breast instead of the thighs. Do you have a special rice dish that you serve with this? Happy 2008!
     
  4. I only used the marinade portion of this recipe and then grilled the chicken. It was so flavorful and delicious. We served it when we had guests and everyone loved it.
     
  5. I made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit with me, my husband, and my toddler. It was easy and flavorful.
