This is a winner! I don't normally do anything fancy on a school night, but this was a snap. I tripled the recipe, put the chicken in a baking dish in a 200 degree oven to keep warm while I cooked the onions (didn't have shallots). I love dates, but only had dried apricots and they tasted great. Next time I will double the sauce too! Really great recipe!

This was really yummy, I have to agree the sauce was so good. I loved the dates with it as well. I don't think I will make it often though because it is a bit lengthy.

As a mediocre cook...I tend to shy away from recipes that look involved...however, I must say...this is prob the best chicken dish I have ever made...so tasty!!! Amazing...simply amazing!

What a great dish! The sauce was simply delish. My 9-yr-old picky eater gave me the thumbs-up. A definite keeper!

I doubled the sauce ingredients in anticipation of a great flavor. I was not disappointed! I am always in awe of how well cinnamon and meat go together. I am going to think of other uses for the spice blend in this recipe!

I've made this several times for my family of 3, doubling the recipe so as to have leftovers and each time I NEVER have leftovers... we (or I should say my 16 yr old son) eat it all! Yummy!

Very tasty and easy to prepare. I substituted 1/4 cup raisins for the dates and used whole wheat couscous.

Delicious! I used boneless/skinless thighs and served the dish with Moroccan-style carrots (carrots cooked and tossed with garlic, olive oil. cilantro, s&p, and feta cheese). Leftovers reheated well for lunch the next day.
