Low Fat Moroccan Chicken

I love this Moroccan chicken recipe. There is something about the combination of what should usually be a savoury dish, with the exotic flavour of cinnamon and cilantro.

This is what you do:

Now, cook the onion, zucchini and garlic in the frying pan, stirring for about 4 minutes, till they go tender. Add the cilantro and cinnamon, and keep stirring for a minute.

Add the broth and bring the whole thing to a boil.

Finally, add the cooked chicken and chick peas, sultanas and prunes. Then simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the orange juice, and continue simmering for another 5 minutes till the mixture goes thick.
