Directions
Chicken Charmoula, Fragrant toasted spices, olives and preserved lemons make this Moroccan-style chicken a dish to be savoured Time doesn’t include marinating , I made this with chicken breasts There is a lot of marinade paste, you could easily halve or quarter it Although we like all the ingredients, we didn’t love it like we thought we would , I loved the spice mix in this And I also loved the coolness of the yogurt sauce and the way it complemented the chicken used chicken breast and marinated it for several hours Just lovely!
