Moroccan Style Chicken in a Jar

Recipe #270477 | 50 min | 20 min prep | add private note

I am making my cousin a full days worth of meal mixes for Christmas this year. This is a GIAJ version of my Moroccan Style Chicken, which will be for the dinner portion. This makes about 1/3 cup of mix, which serves 8. Since it is just the two of them, I am going to package this in a recycled spice container, but you could also use a larger jar and add some dried apricots, so that all the gift receiver would need to add is chicken, oil, and water. Cook/prep time is for actually cooking the chicken.

SERVES 8 , 1/3 cup (change servings and units)

very good, very easy. I made without apricots, and have plenty of spice mix left for other times.

    Absolutely wonderful! This is so simple and delicious that it hard to believe. I made the spice mix about a week and a half before making the recipe and as I made a reduced amount I have lots left to make this again soon! :D. I added the apricots when I made the recipe as the ones I have are quite moist and I didn't want the spice to be a glomp of goo when I was ready to use it. I used one large skinless boneless chicken breast and that was enough for two. The flavor is delicious and on the mild side. If you enjoy a warmer Moroccan style it would be simple to add red pepper flakes to suite your taste. The liquid in the skillet at the end of cooking is thin, I just reduced it a bit and poured it over the chicken and couscous that I served it with. For a finishing touch I sprinkled some chopped walnuts on top. I wish I could give it more that 5 stars. Made for Photo Tag.
