  Absolutely gorgeous, I actually used chicken thighs and added the zest of a lemon and juice from the lemon too! The leftovers are todays lunch!

  Brilliant recipe, I used Asda Extra Special Moroccan Rub for the chicken and it was gorgeous.

  4 stars for flavour - perhaps I need a spicier spice mix - but 5 stars for speed and simplicity of preparation and cooking.

  It was really yummy. I also added lemon juice and made my own Moroccan spice; the ratio was 4 ground nutmeg 4 ground cumin 4 ground coriander 2 allspice 2 ground ginger 1 cayenne pepper 1 cinnamon Might be nice with lamb or just veg.

  Delicious and very easy. Used a pre-mixed Moroccan spice combination from one of the 'major supermarkets' and it was really rather tasty. I did use closer to 2tbsp than 1tbsp, though, as 1tbsp didn't seem like quite enough. Also, as suggested above, served it with some wedges of lemon and some lightly toasted wholewheat pittas cut into quarters.

  Good, but not as good as Moroccan style Chicken with Lentils. If you enjoyed this, I think you will love that.

  if you go to most halal butchers they will either have a ready made ras el hanout (spice of the shop). I added garlic and more cumin, aswell as harissa and left the chicken to one side for a while before frying it. Tasty

  Not as tasty as I thought it was going to be, so added lemon juice and zest, and some olive oil at the end!

  thoroughly enjoyed, although I probably used twice as much Moroccan spice. With a squeeze of lemon, absolutely delicious!

  I liked the concept just like a pilau, i used my own homemade ras el hanout but still found the dish quite bland and needed more heat.

  Was simple and delicious but my palette likes a little more kick so added some harissa to the ras el hanout as a spice mix and that gave it a good flavour boost.
