This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was raw and the spices were all wrong.

The chicken was overcooked and the spices were overpowering.

I love Moroccan food, and this dish did not disappoint. The chicken was tender and the spices were amazing. I served it with couscous and a side of vegetables.
