  I used chicken thighs in this recipe and oven cooked as I prefer the taste to chicken breast, maybe that's were I went wrong. I had to add cornflour to thicken the sauce and then all the fat just sat on the top in the sauce jug. The chicken lost most of the 'morrocan' flavouring into the sauce and the sweet potatoe mash wasn't anything special. Will try again with Chicken Breast and see what it is like.

  as we are not keen on olives I will replace them with dried apricots to keep to the Morrocan theme

  This recipe was amazing. I'm not sure what I was expecting the ras-el-hanout to taste like, never having even heard of it before. But was pleasantly surprised! Very fragrant but not particularly spicy... Lovely! And this dish is SO easy to make. Had a dinner party last night and everyone absolutely loved it! I made a winter vegetable tagine to go with it... winner!!

  Better than usual reviews from the family for this one (it was very popular) though as not all like olives, I use button mushrooms instead.

  Great recipe, made it for my Mum and sister's and they loved it too! Sweet potato mash goes very well with the chicken.

  One of our favorites. Even my toddler loves it. For the mash I use half potatoe and half butternut squash.

  Exellent a real change and very easy to do. I had never used sweet potatoes before so used a half sweet and half ordinary potatoes. They mashed beautifully and were just right for my wife and I. Thank you

  Absolutely delicious and so very easy to make! I made a few slight modifications to the recipe. Since we don't like sweet potatoes, I used regular ones and added some cream, a pinch of black pepper and a little bit of garlic powder to the mash. I also added cardamon, a few cloves and some coriander seeds to the spice mix for the chicken. Magical!

  I really recommend this recipe, despite my initial reservation. The spice mix lends the chicken a subtle, but delicious flavour and the sweet potato is a perfect accompaniment. It's making a reappearance on our weekly menu this week!

  This was fabulous, so quick and easy. I used less honey and no olives, only half the stock and cooked it for longer till the sauce was reduced. Added creme fraiche and Nandos peri peri chip sprinkle to the mash. It was plate lickingly lovely

  I really expected this to not be as nice as it was. It was beautiful and fill of flavours, I did mine without the olives as I didnt fancy them. Next time I may add salad or something with it.

  This is a really nice and quick dish. I found a really nice ras-el-hanout mix with rose petals at Tesco in a little jar and use about half of this for 4 chicken breast pieces. I leave the olives out as my husband doesn't like them but apart from that the sauce is really nice and the chicken comes out really moist every time I made it. Highly recommended!
