I love love this recipe! The yogurt with honey matches with the moroccan chicken so much and I also love the couscous garnished with cranberry, baked slivered almond and some cilantro. It tastes so refreshing! Cilantro (coriander) is one of my favorite herbs. It goes with many things and it's often used in Chinese cuisine. I always like to put some chopped cilantro into my soup noodle like chicken pho, chicken congee or thousand-year-old egg tofu salad. Small herb makes big difference! :D It just make them taste so good!
So this Moroccan chicken is really fast and easy to make. It takes me about 20 minutes to bring it on the table. If you don't have much time to prepare dinner after a long day, or just want to have some light and simple lunch for the weekend, Please give this recipe a try! :)

Ingredients:
- 900g of chicken breast

- Meanwhile, add 300 ml of water in a pot and boil it. Add couscous(250g) into the boiling water, cover the lid, remove from the heat and wait for 5 minutes until all the water is absorbed.
- Season couscous as you like. ( I only added some salt) Put the slivered toasted almonds, cranberry and cilantro into couscous. Use a fork to gently stir.
- Place the chicken on top, garnish with some yogurt and honey.
p.s 1 Moroccan spices can usually be found in the supermarket.
p.s 2 You can find slivered almonds in the supermarket too, or make your own! I made my own slivered almonds by following this recipe. And they turned out good! :)
