Moroccan Chicken with Citrus Carrot and Raisin Slaw
Last night for dinner I made a fabulous grilled Moroccan Chicken with a Carrot & Raisin slaw, dressed with an orange vinaigrette. We chowed it down, even my 8 year old son. It was easy to make, full of flavor and GOOD for you! My friend Bekki told me about this recipe, which comes from Once Upon a Chef.
My camera broke a few months ago so I'm limited with pictures unless I use my phone, which is why I haven't blogged much at all this past year. This dinner was too good not to share though, so despite the lack of step by step pictures please give it a try and see if you agree. FYI, this dish is not hot or spicy, so your kiddos will like it too.
Grilled Moroccan Chicken
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon honey
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions:
1. Slice chicken breasts in half, lengthwise, to make thin chicken cutlets. You can also pound chicken breasts into 1/2 inch thickness. Place chicken cutlets into a large ziplock bag.
2. Mix the olive oil, garlic and spices together in a small bowl or measuring cup. Pour the marinade over the chicken in the ziplock bag.
3. Place ziplock bag for at least 4 hours, the longer the better.
4. Grill chicken on outside grill, or inside on a grill pan, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Do not overcook the chicken!
5. Serve with Citrus Carrot & Raisin Slaw and enjoy!
