MOROCCAN CHICKEN SALAD



Moroccan Chicken Salad image

An unusual taste in chicken salad. The spices make it unique. Green bell pepper can be substituted for either or both of the other colors. Vary the amount of red pepper flakes if you want it hotter or less hot (it will taste fine without it if you prefer).

1/2 cup butternut squash, diced
1 (8 ounce) can beets, diced
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 hard-boiled egg, diced
1 avocado, diced
2 carrots, diced

Steps:

  • To make the spiced chicken: combine coriander and cinnamon with olive oil to make a paste. Spread on chicken breasts with a bbq brush or fingers; cook chicken in pan or grill (I used my Foreman grill and it worked well) until fully cooked. Let chicken cool and slice.
  • While chicken is cooking, roast diced squash in a 400 degree oven for about ten minutes (I used my toaster oven).
  • Toss all other ingredients together with the champagne dressing to taste. Top with sliced chicken & almonds.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN SALAD



Moroccan Chicken Salad image

Just as a little saffron, garlic and paprika can conjure the flavors of Spain, so too will preserved lemons, cumin, mint and olives evoke Morocco. This salad and the accompanying couscous can be doubled or tripled to anchor a generous buffet. Both can be assembled a couple of hours in advance and set aside on a kitchen counter. Serve them at room temperature.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon hot Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon salt
6 skinless bone-in chicken thighs
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut in 2-by-1/2-inch strips
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
2 small zucchini, ends trimmed, quartered lengthwise and sliced 1/2-inch thick
16 small pitted green olives
1 1/2 teaspoons harissa
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/2 preserved lemon, flesh removed and peel minced
3/4 cup instant couscous
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves in chiffonade

Steps:

  • Combine cumin, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl, and lightly coat chicken with spices. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a sauté pan. Sear chicken on medium-high about 90 seconds on the "skin" side, turn, add wine, reduce heat to very low, cover and braise 25 minutes. Remove chicken and juices to a clean bowl.
  • Add bell pepper and onion to the pan and sauté on low about 10 minutes, until softened. Add zucchini and olives and sauté until zucchini starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in harissa, lemon juice, honey and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Remove from heat.
  • Using your fingers and a paring knife, remove chicken from the bones and tear meat in strips. Place chicken and juices in a bowl, along with vegetable mixture from the sauté pan and preserved lemon peel. Toss ingredients together and set aside.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in a 2-quart saucepan. Add couscous and remaining salt and stir over low heat 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 1 1/4 cups boiling water, stir, cover and set aside 15 minutes. Uncover, fluff couscous with a fork, stir over low heat a few minutes to dry it, then fold in half the mint. Transfer chicken to a serving platter, scatter with remaining mint and serve with couscous in a bowl alongside, all at room temperature.
