Made this tonight and it was a winner! We don't care for couscous, so we served it with brown and wild rice cooked in chicken broth. Delicious together.

My husband and I have never tried Moroccan food. So this was a test. It did make it with boneless skinless chicken, I don't like all those little bones in chicken after you slow cook chicken. 4 servings... lol.. hubby and I ate it all up ourselves. lol

Love it!!
