We liked this recipe a lot. We added ckick peas along with the veggies, and will probably add peas as well next time. It could probably could use another zucchini as well. I was a little hesitant using the corn starch - - I was afraid it would get a little too thick, But it was actually a great addition.

Wonderful flavor and the aroma while it's cooking is mouth watering. Another good one Dorothy I used my spice mill and whirled all the spices to gether. Browned the chicken with the onion & garlic and let it cook until just about cooked covered then as the recipes said added the spices, broth, carrots, raisins but held off on the zuke. When I added the cornstartch I put in the zuke and added 1/2 cup frozen peas, Excellent meal in one

After three days of confernce foods - too much cream sauce and not enough flavor - I was longing for a home cooked meal that could come together quickly. This is not your typical Morracan dish in that the sauce is not tomato based or prepared with chickpeas. Don't let that steer you away from this one. The spices and aroma are just wonderful, from cooking to sitting down and enjoying the final product. The market was out of chicken breasts, so I used boneless skinless chicken thighs, In addition to keep this WW Core, I used arrowroot to thicken and counted points for the raisins. I used 1/2 teaspoon of fennel - which for me was just the right amount. Next time I'm going to add a little extra zucchini. Just wonderful. Thanks Derf.
