- 1 Lebanese cucumber, cut into chunks
- 1 medium tomato, cut into chunks
- Couscous, cooked to packet directions
Instructions
- In a large frypan heat 1 tablespoon of oil over a medium heat. Add chicken pieces and fry until chicken if golden brown.
- Add your Moroccan spices, shop brought or home made. Stir for 1-2 minutes of until fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes, chickpeas, carrot, potato and apricots to the pan and stir well.
- Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 30 minutes , or until the chicken pieces are cooked and the vegetables are tender.
