moroccan chicken stir fry Moroccan Stir Fry

This is an easy and fast stir-fry that I often make on busy nights (here are some other healthy meal ideas). It has a lot of contrasting flavors and colors and we’re especially enjoying it now that our Broccoli is in season in the garden.

If your family isn’t used to these types of spices, start with half and work up from there icon smile Moroccan Stir Fry I get all of my herbs and spices from Mountain Rose Herbs since they are much cheaper in bulk and much higher quality that grocery store spices.

    We absolutely LOVED this!  My kids thought it was so cool to have raisins with chicken. ;)   My husband and i really enjoyed the different flavor profile….I didn’t cut down on the spices at all, and we all enjoyed it.  Thank you SO much, this is sure to be in the ‘regular rotation’ at my house!  Nice and different….and just as you said, quick and easy!

    This was another winner. My hubs made it tonight while I played with the littles. He said it was easy and everyone enjoyed the flavors. The raisins and green olives were an especially big hit. Thanks for another nutritious, tasty, and easy recipe!

    Great recipe! Mine could have used some more liquid, so next time I think I will up the liquid and mix the spices into the liquid to make it a bit saucier. Then combine the sauce with the other ingredients. I might add some cashews too. Great flavor!

    Approved by an actual Moroccan! :) My husband, who is Moroccan, liked it. I added a bit more water to have a bit more sauce. Was great. I will definitely be adding this to our menu.
