EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Turmeric is an aromatic spice with a brilliant yellow color and a pungent, slightly bitter flavor. Often used in Indian and Caribbean cooking, turmeric is commonly added to poultry, rice, seafood and egg dishes.

Kalamata olives garnish this Moroccon dish to add a slightly salty flavor. Greek or even ripe olives can be used if you can't get Kalamata olives.

Dress up this dish for entertaining when you serve it beside couscous with raisins and Middle Eastern flatbread.

I used boneless chicken and added sweet potatoes. I would bake it covered next time, just so I can trap some of the juices. A bit dry other wise.

Flavorful, inviting aroma, and very simple to make. My very Moroccan husband loved this dish the first time I made it. The tangy taste, the woodsy aroma compliment the unique taste of chicken. The ginger is a must...gives it a little something. Olives and lemon juice with this spice combination make your mouth water at the first bite of this delicious dish. I am very impressed how easy it is to make something so delicious.

The flavor on this chicken is simply awesome. I'll be the first to admit I didn't know how the olives and the other flavors would mingle; but it came together graciously. Next time I'll try it w/o the flour, it seemed to clump when doing it in the order given. Overall a great recipe!!!
