Rockin’ Moroccan Chicken
Posted on January 03, 2010 by Sarah in Dinner, Food, News | 8 Comments
This is a quick stir-fry that is delicious, subtly spicy, and a lot of fun!
What you’ll need:
4 cooked and diced chicken breasts
1 head broccoli chopped
1 bag of baby carrots chopped
handful of green olives or garlic stuffed olives sliced
small handful of raisins
a few splashes of chicken broth
cinnamon
ground ginger
cumin
cayenne pepper
sea salt
olive oil
Cover the bottom of a saute pan with olive oil. Saute broccoli and carrots until crisply tender and add chicken. Cover chicken with cinnamon, add two or three big dashes of ginger, two or three dashes of cumin, a dash of cayenne pepper (more if you like it really spicy), a dash or two of sea salt, and stir. Once the chicken and veggies are covered with the spices add the sliced olives and raisins and a few splashes of chicken broth to create a sauce. Simmer until all the flavors meld together (about 5-7 minutes) and serve!!
Wow.
I can’t thank you enough for this website.
I’m the proud husband of a home-schooling mom and proud father of a 5yo and 3yo.
In all of our free time, we try to fit in CF and want desperately to eat paleo. More often than not, time and resources are significant barriers. (no trader-joe’s, no costco, farmer’s market 4 months out of the year, and one –only one– REALLY big walmart!)
You may have saved my marriage! =)
Excellent recipe! I didn’t have a couple of things and winged it slightly. My family is gluten, soy, and corn free due to allergies and we’re trying Paleo to help my teenage son bulk up (severely underweight due to recent celiacs diagnosis). Anyway…. I used up a bag of stirfry veggies instead of the suggested veggies, used 1 tsp cinammon, 1/2 tsp of the other spices, handful of walnuts and a 1/2 can of coconut milk instead of chicken broth. So good! There were no left overs!
Yum, sounds amazing, I’ll have to try your variations, thank you!!
The hubs and I are beginning a modified Paleo lifestyle and I’m so glad to find this recipe! Made it last night with a few alterations (no olives, added pecans and crazins) and it was Oh, so yummy! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

Sarah, thank you so much for the blog. I am slowly changing from a highly processed/ fast food diet to a paleo style diet. I understand the basic concepts, what to eat, what not to eat, etc. I have a much harder time with the everyday implementation of these concepts. I’m not a natural meal planner or super creative with food. Having a resource like this is so helpful and makes me feel more confident that I can succeed with my lifestyle food changes. Thanks so much for using you time and energy this way. It is appreciated.

I made this dish tonight for myself and two others ( I should have used more broccoli (3-4 heads)). But the flavor of all the spices was great!
