Tania Boughton's Super Healthy Moroccan Stewed Chicken Preparation

Moroccan Chicken

cook until brown (about 3 minutes per side)

3. Add zucchini and brown lightly, stir often

4. Heat a small pan up with Crisco olive oil cooking spray, add red onion.

Pour about 1/4 cup of water and "boil" onion until tender, adding more

water if needed.

chicken broth, tomatoes, red onion, Cayenne, Cumin and Cinnamon.

Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15

minutes.

Cilantro.

Couscous

2. Place pine nuts in a small pan with Crisco cooking spray and "toast"

for about a minute, each side on medium high heat
