Real Moroccan Chicken

    I was torn between liking and loving this recipe. It was VERY flavorful, obviously...look at all those spices! Although one of them, one which I couldn't determine, seemed to be overpowering the others, not horribly, but I was definitely tasting something strong. None the less, bold taste! And smelled wonderful while cooking. The only changes I made were to add a bit of garlic, because I like it, and I did NOT use anywhere near the amount of salt called for - 2 Tablespoons??? Just seemed like way too much. Check out the sodium content in the nutrition facts! I cut this recipe in half and probably added less than a tsp of salt - I seasoned the chicken before browning with a little and added a little more with the spices as directed. With salt being in the chicken broth it was plenty. The potatoes were cooked too long, they were falling apart. If I make this again I will add them later into the cooking time. The chicken itself was moist and full of flavor. It was easy to make and one of those great recipes that you put together and forget about while it cooks. I ate it with my simple roasted carrots and they were a good match. Thanks for posting.
