Baked Moroccan chicken and rice

Baked Moroccan Chicken and Rice is a fragrant, one-pan dish infused with warm spices like cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and turmeric. Tender chicken is baked over a bed of seasoned rice, often with chickpeas, raisins, or preserved lemon for added depth. The result is a comforting, aromatic meal with rich North African flavours and minimal clean-up.

Ingredients

Ingredients (serves 4):

¼ cup apricot jam

1½ tablespoons Moroccan seasoning

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 tablespoon olive oil

500g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces

2 cups brown rice, rinsed

1 brown onion, thinly sliced

1 large tomato, roughly chopped

½ cup frozen peas

2¼ cups salt-reduced chicken stock

1 lemon, juiced

Steamed green beans, to serve

Instructions

Method:

Preheat oven to 220°C.

Combine jam, seasoning, garlic and oil in a bowl.

Add chicken and stir to coat. Season with salt.

Place rice in a 5cm-deep, 22cm x 26cm (base) baking dish. Top with onion, tomato and peas.

Pour over stock and ¼ cup of lemon juice. Top with chicken.

Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice tender.

Serve with steamed beans.
