MILLION DOLLAR CHICKEN - MOROCCAN STYLE



Million Dollar Chicken - Moroccan Style image

This recipe originally won first prize ($1 Million) in a national cook-off of some sort (I think Pillsbury) several years ago. I can see why - it is a wonderful combination of flavours. The recipe is quite easy to make and is very economical. I have also substituted the chicken thighs for boneless, skinless breasts and it works just fine. The thighs are definitely better though as they are more moist. Do try this - you'll love it.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. If your tomatoes are not very flavorful, you can add a little bit of sugar to the salsa.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the tomatoes, onion, and pepper by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that the salsa has a smooth consistency.
  • If you like your salsa spicy, you can add a jalapeño pepper or two. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before chopping the pepper, so that the salsa is not too hot.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your salsa, such as corn, black beans, or avocado. Get creative and experiment with different flavors!
  • Salsa is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. If you have any leftover tomatoes, onions, or peppers, just throw them in the food processor and make a batch of salsa.

Conclusion:

Moroccan ginger salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is also a healthy and refreshing snack. So next time you are looking for a new way to enjoy your tomatoes, give this Moroccan ginger salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
