I haven’t had chicken in awhile, because it’s gotten a little boring, but this sounds like just the recipe to mix it up a little! Thanks! :-)
This recipe looks delish! I can’t wait to give it a try! I’m always looking for ways to change-up my chicken! ;-)
What side of veggies do you recommend to go with these flavors?
Cooked carrots or a salad would be great!
so with the cinnamon, would you consider this more sweet or savory? Never cooked Moroccan before!
I would definitely not describe the dish as sweet even with the cinnamon in there.
I don t have apricots. But I think I will try it without
Wondering if mushrooms would also be good in this??
Hi Linda. I love mushrooms in almost anything savory. :) Let us know if you try.
Sounds yummy, just pinned this one.
