This was very good but did not struck me as Moroccan. I added some salt and for the rest stuck to all the ingredients listed. I did not make it using chicken breast because skinless thighs were on special offer! So I roasted the chicken at 350F for approx 40 minutes. It turned out really good and juicy with a soft spiced flavour. I will make this again, and use the thighs again too, but will also add some cinnamon to the spices to give it that Moroccan touch.

The chicken had very little flavor. I think it would have helped to add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
