We all have our favorite go-to chicken recipe...it’s easy...we always have the ingredients on hand...and everyone in the family eats it!  Here’s one my favorite ways to get dinner on the table quickly--and it has a little ethnic flare that makes it just different enough to please everyone’s tastes!

Moroccan Chicken

4 cooked and diced chicken breasts
1 head broccoli chopped
1 bag of baby carrots chopped
Handful of green olives or garlic stuffed olives sliced
Small handful of raisins
A big splash of chicken broth
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
Dash of cayenne pepper
Two pinches of sea salt
Generous amount of coconut oil

Cover the bottom of a sauté pan with coconut oil.  Sauté broccoli and carrots until crisply tender and add chicken.  Cover chicken with cinnamon; add ginger, cumin, and a dash of cayenne pepper (more if you like it really spicy), a dash or two of sea salt, and stir.  Once the chicken and veggies are covered with the spices add the sliced olives, raisins, and chicken broth to create a sauce.  Simmer until all the flavors meld together (about 5-7 minutes) and serve!!
