Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the cumin, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the spices toast for about a minute to release their flavors.
-
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure to coat them with the sauce. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Add the sliced zucchinis to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender yet still slightly crisp.
-
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the dish and stir gently to incorporate.
-
Serve the Moroccan Chicken Zucchini over a bed of cooked couscous for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
