Moroccan Stewed Chicken image

I got this recipe from my husbands Mens Health Magazine. I made a few tweaks, one of which was to use boneless skinless breasts rather than the boneless skinless thighs the recipe called for. By making these changes I was able to get the fat down from over 16 grams to a little over 5, and cut the calories by more than half! This went together quickly and was very delicious. The house smells heavenly while this is cooking! (This could easily be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken.)Would make an impressive dinner for guests with very little effort!

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with couscous and it was a complete meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. The dish was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was easy to make and so delicious. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it turned out great. The sauce was perfect - not too thick and not too thin.
