Moroccan Chicken

This Moroccan chicken is a great mid week recipe – less than 10 minutes to prepare, and then 10 minutes to cook.  You can also bulk up this recipe buy dicing and frying up your tri-colour capsicums.  This recipe would look great with a bit of extra red, green and yellow.

  • Toss chicken with cinnamon, salt and pepper, and stir fry in hot oil for 6 – 8 minutes.
  • Add the chilli and pine nuts and cook for a further minute.
