This is an easy and fast Moroccan chicken stir-fry that I often make on busy nights. 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 :). You can even omit the cumin, cinnamon, and turmeric and just use salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder for a much milder taste.
