Moroccan Chicken


Naturally Gluten-Free Meals
Baked Moroccan Chicken

INGREDIENTS

1 Fresh Lemon, thinly sliced
1 Whole Chicken, cut-up
2 Large Onions, thinly sliced
3 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
½ Cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
½ Cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
2 Tsp Ginger
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Turmeric
½ Tsp Salt
½ Cup Raisins
¼ Cup Water
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1 Cup Pitted Olives, green, red, or mixed

INSTRUCTIONS

Marinate the Chicken
In a large covered container add the lemon, onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley, ginger, pepper, turmeric, salt, raisins, and water. Mix well, add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 F

Add enough olive oil to a large baking dish so it coats the bottom. Layer the sliced onions from the marinade and place the chicken on top skin side up. Layer the sliced lemons and any remaining marinade on top of the chicken. Add the olives and drizzle the chicken with the remaining olive oil.

Bake the chicken uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is light golden brown, basting occasionally.

Reduce the heat to 300 F and continue baking for another 30 minutes or longer. The chicken should be deeply browned, the juices should run clear, and the leg joints should move easily. Internal temperature should be between 165 and 175 F. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
