Just like the name says, this is a creamy Moroccan chicken dish. It has just a little spice and is finished with a zing of lemon.
This recipe is one of the easiest "set and forget" dishes on my website. It takes just 5 minutes or so of preparation and then you can leave the Thermomix for the next 25 minutes to work its magic.
The ingredients are all simple pantry staples so it's a dish that you could probably even pull together without a trip to the shops.
I've chosen to serve the creamy Moroccan chicken dish with a simple snow pea side dish. I have included that recipe below because it makes a great flavour combination. You could also serve it with a healthy lentil cous cous dish or brown rice. Even though brown rice takes a little longer to prepare than white rice it is far superior in nutrients. I also prefer the flavour. Today speed was the name of the game so a side serving of greens was in order!

Very delicious flavors thank you and I will try again … however i got shredded chicken instead of pieces? I followed recipe - 24min/varoma/sp1 reverse.
I’m so confused as to why I got shredded chicken? Is there something I did wrong?
Julie Carlyle says
Hi Romina
Thank you for your message, I'm pleased you enjoyed the flavours. The only two things I can think of to cause the chicken to shred is cuttinf the fillets too small. You should only get 6 pieces out of each chicken thigh fillet. OR using chicken breast. Chicken breast and the Thermomix are not friends. The breast will always shred in the Thermomix.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
Julie

I haven't made this yet but I'm a little confused....you say saute the snow peas till they start to go green??..they're already green..so I'm confused??, but the recipe does sound delish...
Julie Carlyle says
Hi Marie
Haha, yes that is confusing! The snow peas will go a brighter lovely cooked green cooler when they are ready. If they are overdone they go a darker green.
I hope that helps.
