Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     African     North African     Moroccan

Time 5h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 cups whole-milk Greek yogurt
½ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup finely chopped mint leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 green bell peppers, cut into cubes
1 small red onion, cut into 8 wedges
bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, 1/4 cup mint, cilantro, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cloves garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne in a large bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade in a separate bowl.
  • Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Press air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 5 hours.
  • Whisk yogurt, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup mint, 2 cloves garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl to make sauce. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
  • Toss green bell peppers and red onion in the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Remove chicken from the bag and discard all marinade. Thread chicken, peppers, and onion alternately onto skewers.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Arrange skewers on the grill. Close lid and cook, turning once or twice, until chicken is firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with cold sauce.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use a combination of fresh and dried spices. Fresh spices like ginger, garlic, and cilantro add a vibrant flavor, while dried spices like cumin, paprika, and turmeric provide a warm and earthy aroma.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the level of spiciness to your preference. If you like a milder stew, reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper. For a spicier stew, add more of these ingredients or include a chopped chili pepper.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken overnight, you can marinate it for at least 30 minutes. This will still allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and give it a delicious taste.
  • To make the stew ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Transfer the stew to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the stew over low heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, couscous, quinoa, and naan bread. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream for a creamy touch.

Conclusion:

Moroccan spiced chicken stew is a flavorful and aromatic dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its tender chicken, savory vegetables, and rich spices, this stew is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make stew, give this Moroccan-inspired recipe a try.
