Baked Moroccan Chicken

| BY:
Baked Moroccan Chicken

Make a weeknight dinner extra-special without any extra work. The prep for this flavor-packed Moroccan Chicken recipe couldn’t be any easier.

Some versions of Moroccan chicken with preserved lemons call for sautéing the chicken which requires lots of extra oil and is a less healthy way to go (that’s putting it lightly).

We have opted to bake our Moroccan chicken bathed in a mixture of bold spices which dress the tender chicken to perfection.

The recipe calls for preserved Meyer lemon, which you can learn to make here.

The flavor of the dish really benefits from the bold, lemony taste of preserved lemon. If you don’t have any, you can use a vegetable peeler to remove strips of lemon peel from a whole lemon, being careful to avoid the white pith underneath.
