This recipe is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and the chicken is dry.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up burning the chicken.

I substituted chicken thighs for the chicken breasts and it was still delicious.

This Moroccan chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the flavors were amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
