North African- Style Stewed Chicken

Features:
  • Spicy
Cuisine:

I was a bit unsure about using so many strong spices in one dish, but this turned out really good (well, DH didn't care for it because the cinnamon was too strong for him, but I thought it was great, lol). used boneless skinless chicken thighs in place of a cut-up whole chicken, and they didn't dry out at all, but it's pretty hard to make dry chicken thighs. I didn't have any mustard greens, so I subbed in some baby beet greens instead. used some storebought ras el hanout, too, because I couldn't find enough of the more exotic ingredients to make it worthwhile making my own ras el hanout. In place of the rice, I served this with Recipe#420654. Oh, and used Recipe#428392 for the preserved lemon. I would definitely make this again, but I would probably need to leave out the cinnamon sticks for DH. Thanks for posting :)! Made for The Queens of Quisine for ZWT6 NA*ME
