Poulet en Sauce Marocaine is a warmly spiced Moroccan chicken dish in a rich tomato-based sauce with ras el hanout, cumin, cinnamon, and honey. The sauce is thick, aromatic, and clings to every piece of tender chicken. Garnished with toasted almonds and fresh cilantro, this is a weeknight-friendly taste of Morocco.

👨🍳Chef's Notes
Mise en Place Saves Time
“Even for quick recipes, spend 3 minutes measuring and prepping everything before you turn on the heat. It sounds counterintuitive, but it actually speeds up cooking because you're never scrambling mid-recipe.”
Season Generously
“Most home cooks under-season their chicken. I use about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of chicken, applied at least 30 minutes before cooking for the deepest flavour penetration.”
