Moroccan Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon

  • 2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 pieces chicken, skin removed (or boneless chicken breasts if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup green olives

Cut 1 lemon into 8 wedges. Squeeze enough juice from second lemon to measure 2 tablespoons; set wedges and juice aside. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper; sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add next 5 ingredients; stir 1 minute. Add broth; bring to boil. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Add lemon wedges. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Add olives and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to skillet. Increase heat to high; boil uncovered to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.

Susan, I made a copy in my word file and will give it a try.  I like the fact that I have most of the ingredients in my pantry.

Marchel - it is quick and easy but tastes like major effort!   I'm serving it with Spiced Couscous with Raisins and Almonds for which I'll also post the recipe.   I hope you enjoy it when you try it!

Now I know what we are having for dinner on Sunday.  I'll have to get the couscous too.  Thanks,

Dan

Susan,  Both your recipes sound delicious.  I first had Couscous in Morocco and it and chicken are fantastic.  Thanks for sharing your recipes.
