Steps:
- Heat the oil a medium straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the chicken breasts well and sprinkle evenly with the salt. Place the breasts skin-side down in the hot pan and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, flip the chicken to the bone side and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove to a plate while you build the sauce.
- In the same pan, add the shallots and sweat, stirring occasionally, for a minute. Add the preserved lemon, olives and sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Deglaze with the white wine, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the chicken broth and return to a simmer. Add the oregano and the chicken back to the sauce. Spoon some of the liquid over the chicken. Cover the pan and simmer gently until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest in the sauce for 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
- Serve the chicken with a generous helping of the sauce and sprinkled with chive blossoms if using.
MOROCCAN ROAST CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS RECIPE

This Moroccan spiced roast chicken is a mixture of spice, sweet and sour taste all together at the same time.

Steps:
- To begin making the Moroccan Roast Chicken with Apricots recipe, first tie the legs of the chicken together with wax free thread. Place the chicken on baking tray with breast side up. Pat dry the chicken.
- In a bowl add olive oil, cinnamon powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, paprika powder, red chilli powder, sumac, harissa paste, salt, pepper apricots, honey, whisk together. Rub this spice mix all over the chicken, under the breast, behind on it back evenly.
- Into the same bowl you mixed the spices, add all the vegetables. Add a few drops of olive oil, toss it together and place these vegetables some inside the chicken and some on the outside next to chicken.
- Preheat oven to 180 degree centigrade. Roast the chicken in oven for about 30 minutes. In between keep brushing melted butter over the chicken, also bast the chicken (the juices and olive oil that flows down into the baking tray pour it back over the chicken).
- Do this atleast 3 to 4 times in between the roasting time. Using tongs turn the chicken breast side facing down and roast for about 15 minutes. Remember to brush butter and bast the chicken at regular intervals. We want to see the skin turn brown.
- In a bowl add honey and apricots, coat the apricots well in honey. Next turn back the chicken with breast side facing up using tongs. Pour few tablespoon water and place the honey coated apricots over and inside the chicken.
- Roast for another 15 minutes. We know the chicken is roasted well when the thermometer inserted into the chicken thighs reads about 180 degree centigrade.
- Remove from oven and cut the chicken into pieces and serve hot.
- Serve Moroccan Roast Chicken with Apricots along with Herbed Butter Garlic Quinoa Recipe for a weekday night dinner.
MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAJINE
Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the garlic, cumin, ginger, paprika, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup grated onion, and the oil.
- Rinse the preserved lemons, and remove the pulp. RESERVE the lemon peel for later use.
- Add the lemon pulp to the mixing bowl. Add the chicken. Mix everything together and place in a large plastic bag to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. (Twenty-four hours really gives the chicken the best flavor.)
- In a large Dutch oven or casserole, place the chicken and marinade; add the stems of the parsley and cilantro, the rest of the grated onion, the powdered saffron and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn down to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover, stir the chicken and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
- Remove the chicken to a serving dish and cover with foil to keep warm. Keep sauce on stove and begin to reduce.
- Slice the preserved lemon peel into thin slices and add to the sauce along with the olives, parsley and cilantro. Reduce until the sauce is just a little thick. This shouldn't take more than 5 minutes at most.
- Uncover the chicken and remove the skin from the chicken. (It doesn't look pretty and who needs the extra fat.) Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

Steps:
- Wash the chicken, then drain. The remainder of this step is optional; the North Africans do it to purify the chicken. Blend the garlic with one tablespoon salt to make a paste. Rub the paste into the cavity and the flesh of the chicken. Rinse well.
- Place the chicken in the casserole with the spices, garlic, onions, herbs, oil and two cups water. Simmer, covered, 30 minutes, turning the chicken often in the cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, pit the olives. To rid them of their bitterness boil them three times, changing the water each time.
- Add the drained pitted olives and the lemon juice to the casserole and continue cooking until the chicken is very tender. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Using a slotted spoon, remove the olives and place around the chicken. Meanwhile reduce the cooking liquid in the casserole to a thick sauce. Adjust the salt and lemon juice to taste. Pour over the chicken. Serve at once.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN
This is a delicious and easy chicken dish that I hastily jotted down while watching the lovely Rachel Allen on TV one Saturday Morning. I liked it because it did not need too many special ingredients, other than a few spices, which a lot of people may have to hand anyway. I used chicken breast when I made it and it fed my family easily, feel free to use whatever cut of chicken you prefer.

Now, rub the chicken all over with the spice rub (if you kept the skins, make sure to apply the spice rub underneath the skins for best flavor.) Set aside in room temperature for 40 to 45 minutes or so (or, if you have the time, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. If you do this, take chicken out of fridge and let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes before cooking.)
