How to Make Moroccan Chicken And Veggie Skillet

  1. Lightly crush 1 teaspoon fennel seeds using a knife or mortar and pestle to release their aroma.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the crushed fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste). Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the spice mixture and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add 1 ½ cups chicken broth, 1 medium zucchini (chopped), 1 cup carrots (chopped), ½ cup raisins, and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth.
  9. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  10. Serve the Moroccan chicken and veggie skillet over cooked couscous or rice. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander (cilantro) before serving.
