Moroccan Style Chicken In A Jar


I am making my cousin a full days worth of meal mixes for christmas this year. this is a giaj version of my recipe #224920, which will be for the dinner portion. this makes about 1/3 cup of mix, which serves 8. Since it is just the two of them, i am going to package this in a recycled spice container, but you could also use a larger jar and add some dried apricots, so that all the gift receiver would need to add is chicken, oil, and water. Cook/prep time is for actually cooking the chicken.

Steps


To make mix: mix ingredients together , and put into an airtight container.
Will store for 6 months.
To make moroccan style chicken: combine mix with oil and chicken in a gallon sized ziploc bag , and squoosh around to thoroughly coat chicken and apricots.
Heat your largest skillet over medium high heat.
When it is nice and hot , add the chicken to the pan , spreading it in a single even layer.
Brown chicken.
Turn and brown other side , about 4 minutes per side.
Add water.
Stir gently to combine.
Bring to a boil , then turn heat down and simmer 10 minutes.
Of the spice mix , 1 / 2 t.
Apricots , and 1 / 4 pound of chicken for each serving.
