From my Kitchen: Sweet Moroccan Chicken: One pot Recipes

I love this recipe because it is so fool proof. It tastes really fancy and looks like it too a long time to make. But in fact, it is one of the easiest recipes and only requires one pot. It is a mildly sweet chicken cooked with spices and some dried fruit like apricots or prunes. It is usually served with some warm french bread to dip into the sauce, but I used to eat this dish with a side of basmati rice. The entire recipe is cooked in one pot, so it eliminates some extra dish washing. To save some prep time, I like to measure out a bunch of little bags of the spice mixture so I dont have to measure when I actually make the recipe. This chicken and sauce are great to serve for any dinner party or just to make for your family.

Sweet Moroccan Chicken
If you use the saffron, it will give the chicken a very beautiful yellow color. I ran out, so mine looks a bit pale :(
2 lbs of Chicken
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup water
1 Minced Onion
1 cup chopped Cilantro
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of Saffron (optional)
Dry Apricots or prunes

1) Mix the spices and set aside.
2) Remove any extra skin from the chicken. You can use a whole chicken, chicken thighs, or chicken breast.
3) In a medium pot, pour in the oil, honey, butter,water, and spices. Heat the pot to medium heat.
4) Once the mixture is simmering, add in the onion, cilantro, chicken, and dried fruit.
5) Mix everything well, cover, and cook for 30 minutes or till chicken is done through. You dont have to mix while its cooking, but do check on it once in awhile to make sure the heat is not to high or too low. It should be at a constant simmer and stay covered.

Chop up the onion and cilantro.
