    Perfectly Flavorful Moroccan Chicken

    This Moroccan chicken dish is so flavorful and delicious - it has been one of my stand-by 'winter evening comfort food' recipes for years.  The spices blend together perfectly and give the illusion that it took hours to make, while in reality it is so quick and simple.  I love the combination of textures and colors, and it's just saucy enough to leave something to sop up with a good flat bread or naan.  I usually serve this with couscous or bulgur, but it is just fine with white or brown rice.  If you want to really impress some guests or your family - make this dish, you won't regret it.  🙂
