Million Dollar Chicken Moroccan Style

---

This recipe originally won first prize ($1 million) in a national cook-off of some sort (i think pillsbury) several years ago. I can see why - it is a wonderful combination of flavours. The recipe is quite easy to make and is very economical. I have also substituted the chicken thighs for boneless, skinless breasts and it works just fine. The thighs are definitely better though as they are more moist. Do try this - you'll love it.
