Moroccan Style Spicy Chicken & Rice - 25 Minutes to Make!
1
Person talking
This is a super quick, super tasty recipe! It will turn out best if you use the Moroccan style Ras el Hanout as opposed to the Algerian one - the Moroccan version has warmer spice tones & the Algerian has more earthy tones. You can add another dimension to this with a little bit of finely chopped preserved lemon.

So much flavor and texture in so little time. I love Moroccan style foods and I use a lot of chicken so this will, without doubt, be making repeat appearances here. I can't think of a single thing that I would change. It's richly spiced without being overpowering in any way. I used the Recipe #262189 mix (my favorite) and made up a fresh batch this morning to use in this great dish tonight. I was a bit concerned that the chicken was going to end up on the cooked to dryness side since it was a thinnish 4 oz breast but it came out moist, tender and delicious.1Reply
