Marrakesh Chicken

As many know I am an Aussie girl married to a Moroccan husband. Because of this I am always looking for recipes to make him remember home and help to ease some homesickness he may develop. Lately that homesickness is growing stronger so I am even more trying to help him and what I do best is FOOD...

One of my favourite Facebook pages is called Moroccan Cuisine, You can find it HERE. And last night they put up this gorgeous recipe called Marrakesh Chicken. I can't wait to try this out. I'm thinking of the chicken with Rice, a delicious salad and some homemade Moroccan flat bread. My stomach is growling at the very thought of it.

Here's the recipe for you to enjoy !
