How To Make moroccan chicken

  • 1
    In a small bowl stir together the paprika, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric and cayenne. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Set the rest of the spice mixture aside. Cover the chicken and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on both sides. Remove chicken to plate. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add carrots and onions; cook until the onion starts to become translucent and slightly brown on the edges.
  • 3
    Reduce heat to low and stir in the remaining spices; cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Pour in chicken broth and fire roasted tomatoes; simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add raisins, lemon juice, and browned chicken breasts. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes turning the chicken over once. If desired garnish with lemon slices and toasted slivered almonds.
