A Trip to Morocco in One Pot: Easy Chicken with Ras el Hanout

Busy weeknights can be a culinary conundrum - you crave a flavourful, satisfying meal, but time and energy are scarce. Fear not, home cooks! This Moroccan Chicken with Ras el Hanout is the solution to your weeknight woes, delivering a taste of North Africa with minimal effort.

The secret lies in the spice blend, Ras el Hanout. Translating to "head of the shop" in Arabic, this fragrant mixture is a closely guarded recipe among spice merchants. Though the exact blend varies by family, it always features a warm, complex medley of spices - think ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and a touch of floral sweetness.mWhether you opt for whole pieces, thighs, or breasts, the meat will soak up the spices for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight, for maximum flavour infusion.

Once marinated, the chicken takes centre stage in a simple one-pot sear and simmer. As it cooks, you can add in complementary vegetables like onions, carrots, and chickpeas for a complete meal. The final touch? An optional squeeze of fresh lemon and a handful of chopped cilantro, which lend a bright, refreshing contrast to the warm spices.

With minimal hands-on time and practically effortless preparation, this Moroccan Chicken with Ras el Hanout is the ideal solution for those busy weeknights when you crave a homemade, flavor-packed meal. Transport your taste buds to the vibrant spice markets of North Africa, all from the comfort of your own kitchen.
