Moroccan Chicken


A few months ago, we had decided to try SunBasket to get some new recipes into our weekly rotation of grocery shopping. One of the recipes I loved was the Moroccan chicken with vegetables. Below are the recipe and ingredients.

  • Ingredients
    • A small white onion
    • 3-4 whole carrots
    • A small bag of snap peas
    • Two boneless chicken breasts
    • Spicy harissa sauce (EVOO, parsley, lemon juice, cilantro, cumin, cayenne, smoked paprika, and kosher salt)
    • Ras el hanout
  • Instructions
    • Scrub and peel the carrots. Cut the carrots lengthwise and diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
    • Peel the onion and thinly slice to gather a cup.
    • Combine the carrots, ras el hanout, and 1 tsp of olive oil. Let stand while you prepare the chicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
    • Place at least 1 tsp olive oil into a pan that over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Bring the heat down to medium-low and continue to cook through for 5 to 8 minutes.
    • Once the chicken is done cooking, transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
    • Using the same pan as the chicken, place an additional 1 tsp of olive oil and add the carrots. Cook the carrots until they soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add in the onion, snap peas and cook until the onions are soft and the peas are crisp.
    • To serve, place the chicken and vegetables on the plate and use as much harissa as you would like.
