Moroccan Chicken image

This is a delicious and easy chicken dish that I hastily jotted down while watching the lovely Rachel Allen on TV one Saturday Morning. I liked it because it did not need too many special ingredients, other than a few spices, which a lot of people may have to hand anyway. I used chicken breast when I made it and it fed my family easily, feel free to use whatever cut of chicken you prefer.
