Moroccan-Style Roast Chicken with Vegetables

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

The preparation for this dish is a bit time consuming, but it's not difficult and the results are wonderful. These quantities serve two for the chicken with lots of veggies left over.

"Really terrific flavor, and the aroma it gave off during the hour-long cooking process was half the benefit of this great recipe. Mother in law really enjoyed it, served with couscous-with-golden-raisins-and-cinnamon, and a nice California Pinot Noir. Made a really great meal that I'm sure to try again. (Only self-comment for next time is to try to find some way to thicken the sauce once it's finished. The broth and tomatoes thinned the sauce out to more of a broth than I wanted on this particular occasion, but don't let that keep you from trying it -- it's delicious!)" - stevemur

My life is now complete. So good and easy to make. The spices make my brain happy too. Rather euphoric. Thank you! I didn't have zucchini or turnips so I used celery and white sweet potatoes. Didn't need rice.

I tried making this dish today and it was excellent! I added black olives, but that was me. Highly recommended!!

This meal has become a favorite in my home. It is easy to make and it tastes and smells wonderful. Not to mention it's pretty healthy also. Thanks for the excellent recipe

I think the wateriness is due to the zucchini. I've made it once without and it wasn't nearly as much of a problem. I think next time I might salt the zucchini and let it drain for a while before I add it. I might also leave the juice from the tomatoes out.
