The sauce in this Moroccan Chicken recipe is tasty but not too sharp. Why I love Moroccan cuisine. This particular recipe uses boneless chicken breast and the sauce is a delicious mix of enjoying sweet, pungent and salty flavors that even a non-curry eaters should.
These breast chicken recipe uses most of the traditional Moroccan spices such as cumin, cinnamon and turmeric. Lemons are another typical ingredient in Moroccan cuisine. This> Recipe is very simple, but the exotic flavors and aromas from the spices make it seem more complex.
The yogurt at the end is optional for those (like me) who prefer a less spicy option. To go with the Moroccan theme, as I serve this with couscous
